Quote from usrx201:
I tried out his newsletter on wealthinsideralliance"scam insider alliance".com about a year and a half ago.
Yes he often shorts stocks if you can even find a broker that allows you to short these scam stocks in the first place.
After I lost $3k in sim mode from loser after loser, I emailed them with proof of the failed trades and had to email or through online chat contact them again about 10 times. Because they either didn't respond or they said they'll get back to my email. Finally through email I got my credit card reimbursed (the newsletter was $1500k/year something like that). I noticed Sykes has since moved on from WIA and is trying other sites now as most scam vendors do.
Maybe he was lucky to make 100k from his bar mitzvah or whatever when he was 18 back then, but it doesn't seem like it's working now for him except to sell the courses.
