@JSOP: I think everyone knows this documentary and there's not much to say about it.
Thing is, I'm very caryful with talking somebody down before I didn't try put myself in the other guys position.
So I'm asking you: Would you be able to pull it off like Cohen? I mean, raising money, establishing the expert network, putting dummies in front of yourself to protect you and in the end pay the 1.8 Billion(!!) out of jail card?
I know I would not. I'm proud of what I achieved in the electronic trading realm, but I'm 100% not on par with guys like him.
And I don't think there will be a documentary about JSOP soon...amirite?
So yes, definitely a legend...one way or the other.
To each's opinion then, I personally think anyone with some trading experience in trading can pull off what Cohen did given the insider information that he could get before anyone else with those "networking experts" companies that he paid off with money. Those dummies were not supposed to work, it's the authorities who chose to look the other way. Like I said, that's not Cohen's ingenuity, that's authorities' corruption. I am not putting Cohen down, I just don't think he's a legend. Far more traders have traded lot better than him with real skills and talent deserve that title lot better than him.
And trust me, I will do everything possible to not have a documentary made about me. If I made money, I would stay as quiet as possible, just making my money and enjoy it quietly so don't worry you won't see anything in Youtube or anywhere about me, rest assured.
