WHy are you avoiding my question ?? Did you or did you not return the student's money ?? Why all the veiled lanquage , traderbrat ?? If you KNEW ANYTHING about the law, those types of acknowledgements that the poor, bedraggled and unfortunate sometimes sign are called CONTRACTS OF ADHEESION (sp) . THey are not enforceable. wHY DID YOU not give the poor student his money back ? what is the big deal ??? ARE YOU THAT DESPERATE ?? TRADING GOING THAT POORLY ?? That you have to keep an unhappy. poor ( by your own admission) student's money ?? jack rabid
Question: Which conman is worse? A) The unsophisticated one who has minimal disclaimers. B) The careful one who (with the help of informed lawyers) has examined all the pitfalls of the fraud game and has small print designed to insulate him from prosecution.
I think your post here is pretty honorable, you may have saved someone else from being duped by this guy, or perhaps something similar. I think we have all been there, in some area of life. A while ago, in a consulting career, I was seriously harmed when I ignored some red flags I saw regarding a guy I dealt with. I gave him the benefit of the doubt, then quickly realized my worst fears. The tough thing was, the corner of my eye saw that something wasnt right and I rationalized it away. The hard truth is, there are predators out there looking for people when they are vulnerable, which everyone is at some point in their life. I have learned never break my rules, and never ignore "that little feeling something isnt right" And I learned it the hard way.
If you are the poor soul this JOKER ripped off and called a fool to add insult to the situation--- PLEASE let me know--- I can hook you up with counsel who understands and will cook this turkey. jAACk
Thanks Jack I will PM you on the weekend. I really want to thank everyone that has given me moral support on this post. I think each and everyone of us here in ET can understand what a terrible feeling it is to feel like you have been had. If I think of all the other great things that could have been done with this money, it's really upsetting and if and when I get it back ... I am going to make a DONATION to a good Charity for $500.00 on behalf of all the good members of ET. Thanks Again.
FWIW I did the free trial a while back over at RealityTrader. It was the room with Bo Yoder. I felt this was a decent room and Bo never "booked" a trade in the log without first asking other room members if they got the trade and what their fill was.
A lot more people pay a lot more $$? I don't know about that dude. I probably bought one trading book in my life for like $5 on sale or something only to read something at night before bed. I would rather take that $4000 and try to lose it all, you learn a lot more that way.
I think we would all take that $4000 and do other things with it - that was not the point. Samson was beating himself up over spending the money, and the point was that if he learned a valuable lesson from it, it was worth it. This thread and ET is filled with numerous people that have spent thousands and thousands and thousands looking for the grail. Most of us are guilty of it at one time or another. If you have only spent $5, you are in the MINORITY. But, more power to you - congratulations. By the way - is this you T-REX? Another alias???
