Mark,I recommend you and I sit this out and let these people have at it.
To much of a marketsurfer connection.
Baron will drag this (and anything else that produces clicks) on for as much as he can get.
Ignore it.
Take care of yourself.

Well I'm pretty confused then because the article indicated that you were asked for a variety of easier things to produce, not direct access to your trading accounts:
"What is important is whether the trading track record, and the claims of millions of dollars in trading profits could be verified. Unfortunately, Mr. Perry wanted nothing to do with verifying his track record. I asked for only a single month of redacted trading statements, where his name and identity would be hidden from public view. He flat refused. I then asked for only a single day of verifiable trading results. Once again, he flat refused. I asked whom he uses as his broker, he gave the names of a couple different brokers and came across as very evasive and dodgy. I asked if he could simply take a screen shot of one single day of fills from his trading platform. Once again, he refused. Not a good sign."
Why not just give the guy a monthly statement or a daily screen shot with your account number covered up? It just seems like that would have cleared up the entire issue (and still could), and it would be no risk to you whatsoever.
Perhaps I was mistaken in viewing this reply as a personal attack but that doesn't change the fact others posting to this topic have will and do throw mud at anyone and everyone. And that's about all they do.Hard to say. He had some pretty outrageous claims on his website so he could have ran into some issues with that.

One of them who has been banned and who has posted to this topic with multiple nicks recently.. if I'm not mistaken and I sincerely believe I'm spot on with regard to this ...then you knew all along from the get go which banned member this was...and yet you allowed him to stay and were consciously aware he was here without a legitimate purpose (at least in this thread), where he was only here to throw mud, without any interest in the truth (within the realm of whether wrbtrader's claim's are true).
To my knowledge, it would be extremely unlikely you weren't aware of this. Guys nick was Tlatoni or something similar.
Meanwhile the same nick came right back (as Southampton) or was already here posting under both alias's at the same time. He's known for maintaining a fleet of alias's which has been shown in the past he even uses to reply to his own posts. I'm relatively certain (tisn't worth the time to look back and link to it) ..but I believe it was in this thread where it was announced by another user, precisely who Tlatoni and southampton are. It has also been brought to the attn of this thread that banned user posted a link to his website on another topic about gold.
Last I checked this unregistered vendors post with the link to his site was still there. In it he pretends to be someone else, a casual purchaser of the product recommending others purchase the product. I think that type of sales tactics qualifies as a scam. Pretending your someone else ..and highly recommending your own products.
So as I said, I reread the post I quoted above and your other posts to this topic and I accept I might have misread your intent the first time. It's possible there's no agenda there other than bonafide interest in determining the truth.
But this bit about permitting the banned user to come back with multiple usernames, (at least 2 in this thread) ...to attack wrbtrader, it reminds me of my converstation with DB where he laid out logically why he's not interested in being a member of this site and contributing content like he used to.
I mention this because valuable contributors like wrbtrader aren't easy to find and imo it's illogical to think harassing him is going to lead to anything good. I don't know how many other active nicks southampton has but just so you know, and I'm not alone in feeling this (as evidenced by DB's absence) ... the constant thought in the back of my mind when reading a reply to one of my posts ...is I bet that's you know who. And that's taken all the fun out of visiting here (for me).
Good Luck keeping wrbtrader and others interested in the site. It's likely going to require a different approach than this thread but I hope you succeed because if you don't there won't be much to attract me to at least read what's here. Currently there's still good information on ET and I hope it stays that way and gets better, not worse, but I doubt I will ever post here again...because of one user.
I hope this feedback helps you create the best future you can create for the site and ET prospers.
Tell 'em surf!Never post here again? Please keep your word as your value ad is negative--
