You have to be really stupid to pay for the guy's arrogance and delusions of grandeur. But then again, he panders to the stupid, so this can work.

Good post, bro!
And may I remind everyone that I anticipated "a clusterfuck of lawsuits" to head Big Mike's way almost 6 months ago on this very forum? Let's call it a good start. It's good indeed.
Here is a link to this:

I am really not shocked by that, but how much he is to blame is better left to the court of law. I don't want to speculate here, though I am glad to see that someone is finally doing what many should have done a long time ago had they had the guts or time/money because that can be a costly business and only a bigger company can afford it.
I intend to revisit the other thread. I hope it stays open for a while. I don't come here that often.
Well, I think one should also give credit to others equally critical of this Texan loser. David Cohen is one such a person. I hope he shows up here again. I see he's somewhat active on Twitter.
Some external sites were also critical of this bozo. See through the posts here to find the right references. I may post them next time too, I am just stopping by for a minute.
I'll be back with more soon. Can't find time for everything these days.
Are you rolextrader? I'm talking about an official source. Where is it that info about that $65K blackmail coming from (AMP?) or is just forum gossip?
Of course I am not. Relax, this is not a Big Mike Trading forum to suspect everyone of being phony. Meaning like Big Bozo. Rolextrader is another guy, and hopefully he will answer your question.
My name is D. Adams and read the complaint by Santosh about Learn to Trade and Invest-The Fractal Futures Trader. His complaints about the trade room and the course are essentially correct. At the time of his enrollment, I was just beginning a treatment regimen for an aggressive prostate cancer and eventually was prescribed necessary but debilitating amounts of morphine and was sick from the treatment regimen. I was a mess; the room was a mess; and I was oblivious to the problems in the room and my mentoring, which was subpar. Further, I did not realize the effect this condition had upon my disposition, or didn't want to realize it. I nodded off on several occasions and was slurring badly during the trading room hours; and traded in a fairly mediocre fashion. Dr. Dean Handley was in the room and was tracking my trades in the room and documented I traded with a winning percentage of 86% (six ticks or more) and slowly dropped off to the 50% range. I should not have been trading, but can honestly say I was not cognizant of my deteriorating behavior until a long time member gently said "stop" until your health improves. I took his advice and took a 4 month hiatus.
Some of the long term members of my program were aware of the problem, and I chose not to disclose the condition to those outside my inner circle of trading partners. That was probably a mistake, too. There were 6 new traders who received a pretty raw deal, of which 3 I have been able to locate and make amends. A fourth trader in the group of six was so irritated he refused any reparation. I invite Santosh to contact me to remedy his situation.
After a return to health and no subsequent relapse (not yet, anyway)the room is going well and no one is complaining, as they were during Santosh's experience. All of the pre-cancer clients are back in the room and plenty of new traders. I just wish things had not gotten out of control to the point I had to be told to stop trading.

Did you know that Big Mike was publicly accused of extortion? That's mind boggling.

Trading Loonies has become the best advocacy site for traders. They pull no punches and so far it's hard to question their integrity because they sell nothing and promote no one.
That's how you do it. I hope they keep up their great work.

You must be a terrible trader if you had to be told by others that you were trading like crap. How can anyone trust you in the future now?
