More details about those ?
Here are the critical and incontrovertible facts that you should know and consider:

1) At the same time that LW was doing exceptionally well in his contest account, his managed accounts were performing exceedingly poorly. Remember: at the same time.

2) In the days of that famous trading contest, the NFA dealt with numerous problems relating to time stamps and broker/money manager collusion at the expense of the money managers' clients. It was a fairly widespread problem and, because of the collusion, it was very difficult to prove. Intelligent people had to assess whatever facts were available to them at the time in order to draw their own conclusions. You may contact an enforcement attorney at the NFA to confirm this bit of historical fact. You may also wish to read the following book to get a flavor of the times:

3) Ever since the time stamp and other issues have been addressed and, for the most part, resolved, LW has never been able to replicate his performance again. Not ever.

Now, if you are a thinking person, then you will draw your own conclusions.

...I know him personally therefore my data may just be a little more relevant than a monday morning quarterback such as yourself.
No, your "data" is no more relevant than mine. In fact, less so. My prior post addresses incontrovertible facts which, when taken together, paint a fairly clear picture. All you have is spin from a decidedly unobjective source -- LW himself. Incontrovertible fact vs. subjective spin. Let the reader decide.

As for your reference to "Monday morning quarterbacking," it is exactly such analysis that gives much needed context to the interrelated facts.

Your refusal to critically assess this man and the circumstances surrounding his trading gives rise to a certain suspicion. Would a genuine trader likely be so forgiving of such questionable circumstances? Or would a like-minded promoter/vendor be more accommodating of such pesky and inconvenient details? A form of "professional courtesy," if you will.

Wrong! I have critically assesed the situation. I know several gurus whom i consider frauds. i didnt like larry and thought he was bogus untill i looked at both sides, something you refuse to do. my conclusions after careful study and talking to the SOURCE are that he is legit in the contest and trading. you only hear what you want to hear, tdog. too bad, as you are a pretty bright guy otherwise.

Yes, you are. You have chosen to suspend your critical thinking a long time ago. Suspension of critical thinking generally costs money.

I'm tired of ragging on NObama for today, so I'll let this obvious tee-up pass...
 
LW is alive and well and living a life most would envy in Australia. Let me tell you that considering the ecomonic and political climate here . . . he won't come back. Can't blame him.
