Why can't the regulators just follow the money to see it going into trading accounts instead of toward education? There must be a reasonable man standard for educational fees/costs.

Hey, fucked over guy, the NFA is an industry group that would love to hear about this guy, and he is a member, and in fact they will act much faster and probably be more penal than the CFTC. They can act on what they consider to be personal conduct matters.

Thank you for all the comments. I think f**ed- over guy will be my new nickname or perhaps a trading firm I will start up. Sounds about right. Anyway, I did call the NFA and they referred it to the CTFC. I was called back in about 5 minutes. Seems like they may have already been doing some research. They knew who I was and when I had deposited money with PTC. GO FEDS!!! I doubt I will see anything from this but one can hope. Perhaps if nothing else happens, others will not make the same mistake I did or maybe it could set a precedent for the "education" loophole and prop firms. I do have the contact information for the attorney at the CTFC for anyone who lost money with PTC. Send me a message and I will forward it to you.
Hey Fucked over guy, you might want to thank Bone for doing some nice leg work for you on helping you get your money back.
I just PM'd the OP to ask if he was sincere and forthright - and to add some supporting details if that would be the case.
