What are Synthetic Options?

they're also known as "counterfeit options", and are often made in China.
I started a thread on this topic about 12 hours before you made this one. The video in the OP is a good place to start.

it is an old story with ET members. They don't use the search box in the upper right hand corner to find answers.

This is the first page of Chapter 1 below...might be worth a look
