Hitherto, of all the people I have met from any country, I have had only one reliable first impression: if the person is simply an idiot it is often obvious. Mike, you are an idiot; if you were from America you would be an idiot; were you from Asia, Africa, South America or the Poles, you would be an idiot. You just happen to be an idiot from Europe.
Interactive Brokers should close your account, as you probably will not, for you have acted idiotically and criminally. You are simply deluded if you think a European broker would have acted differently.
