Former Turtle Trader and ET Member in Jail?

[Frederick Foresight]

I didn't even know Nitro was posting in P&R. Most of the stuff I'm referring to was in his black thread or everyday is black, whatever it was called. He had two very long running threads that go back years where he posted daily. His posts were becoming more and more over the top everyday. I do disagree with you that the trading threads are repetitive. There are some good threads with excellent posts but you have to pick your spots. To me P&R is repetitive and has been for over a decade. I haven't been down there in years. So no, I have not read any of scatty's recent posts. As far as Nitro goes, I recognize the pattern. It's subtle and it happens slowly over time, but I do see it.

So you found this thread to be compelling and indicative?

Any particular post or section that you found to be over the top and unreasonable? I don't recall ever visiting this thread before, but a quick look does not suggest over-the-top thinking. Pessimism, perhaps, but where does it cross the line to which you are alluding?

I've read the whole thing. It's not "one" post per se that is a smoking gun. If you read it from start to end you will see the slow progression. Same goes for his market maker thread which lasted years. You have to read it in order and you will see the slow progression. It's like recognizing dementia. There isn't a one day diagnosis. It can only be recognized through time.

If that were the case, then the posts should have gotten progressively more...out there. However, his last few posts in that thread were not those of a delusional paranoiac overcome by one conspiracy after another. It's good that you're concerned about someone with whom you have interacted over the years, but let's not go crazy here - so to speak.

I agree that mental illness is a serious issue and not one to be dealt with lightly. But at the same time, it shouldn't be "diagnosed" lightly either. I'm sure you know nitro better than I do, and I hope that your concern is misplaced. But I can assure you that it would be better directed at certain other ET members who look to be spiralling downward - and I'm not kidding.

I'm sorry to hear about it. His first book really helped me. I suspect:

1. Faith was probably never a nice person to be around, both by his own admission in the book and based on the tone of the book and the content of subsequent online interviews and writings in which he profanely and viciously attacked other people he had worked with....not usually a sign of a mentally healthy, stable person.

2. Faith may have suffered some type of psychotic break, as his later ramblings suggest delusions and psychosis. Typical onset of schizophrenia is late teens to early 40s. Byron Katie's cognitive behavioral therapy-type approach will not be an adequate fix for this biochemical disease, which currently requires a biochemical approach. I hope Faith will get help. No one deserves the suffering this disorder inflicts.

She might be in the market for a sugar daddy. That site is better than tinder!

Actually, if you go to http://arrests.org/ , you can then select a state, then on the left, select only women, and you will have between 700 to 3000 'deserving 'women pics. Please do update us down the line about how many years/months the sugar daddy's lives were shortened. Really ET posters are extremely enlightened people

On arrests.org, go to california and scroll down to most popular and look at the guy to the right of claudia. I lost it in my office when I saw him.

Florida has some talent. I'd like to start a kickstarter fund for a "nature retreat" with natalie(most popular on bottom left).

I think we should crowd-source Fiama and make her an Elite Trader.
