I noticed you didn't get a chance to respond to my question here.

Probably you have been too busy. I think it's very important that we know what the outcome was and also what IB's response is to the charge that the request to make this trader whole was initially rejected and only considered after he started a thread here. To me this is crucially important. I am an IB supporter but I need to know where I stand.

Any response to these two questions would be appreciated.

I know what happened.
I have communicated to the Zzzap privately since the discussion involves things that he may consider private. For the rest of the audience:
  • There was a bug
  • It was extremely arcane and required a unlikely combination of events to be exposed. This made it very difficult (hence, a long time) to identify. If Zzzap permits, I will describe the events.
  • The bug has been fixed.

Aha, so the "operation" was a complete success, but did the patient live or die if ya get my drift? Like is he getting back "Da Money"! That talks, the rest just walks.

Evidently you not only are incapable of reading my post, you are incapable of reading your own post. LOL! I thought your problems were youth and inexperience. Now I find out you're just plain stupid. Now it all makes sense. LOL!

thanks for that. i thought your useless inconsequential and now completely incorrect dribble was enough reason for others to completely disregard your posts and here you go and one up yourself. i think its obvious from all your posts that your failure to achieve any remarkable success in 40 years has led you here to be a cynical condescending prick towards anyone venturing an opinion different than yours. regardless, you are a big nobody who has more than likely made less money in an entire lifetime than many of those in my circle have made in a month so your opinion and witless insults mean nothing to me. go back under your bridge troll and enjoy wharever pittance youve earned like the true long term gambling junkie you are.

"you're stupid. lol" - real mature, gramps....and really telling too

You might try substituting a few FACTS for all those opinions. And try a pill for some of that inner anger you're spewing around here.

Quote from dont:

OK so what was the outcome here, did the OP get his money back?

Three highest probabilities:

1. IB identified it as their error and settled with the OP on condition that he keep the settlement confidential. Hence no word here.

2. They are in negotiations leading to a settlement which will include a confidentiality clause, hence no word here.

3. OP has egg on his face and doesn't giv a sh*t enough to set the record straight in 'public.'

As it stands, we are left w/ uncertainty - something with which traders are quite familiar.
 
Logically the options should be the number 1 or 2, because if an IB staff member acknowledges that an error was made (due to a glitch or whatever) and IB would decide then not to make up for that 'mistake', this statement could be used easily by a lawyer in favor of the OP.

Can we place some bets? :p
