lol, too funny, the blind leading the blind
I hate to say it, but my instinct is almost never wrong on these things... smells like a very typical confidence scheme. VERY typical.
No one ever comes out and challenges it because it's in such poor taste, especially if it may well be true, but that's what helps perpetuate the myth. Somehow getting ripped off by someone with huge medical expenses just doesn't feel so bad.
Most people have the common sense to not make themselves look like total asses in public, and if they are going to risk making themselves look like an ass in public by calling someone a liar, they at least have the brains to be sure of. You on the otherhand have no issues with such things, and since your hiding behind a made up name on the Internet why should you care what you say? Your instincts suck.
Your right it is in poor taste, especially when so many people here know me and can verify what I've said is true.

The only people I work with are established business.
Interesting, the video shows up in Firefox but not IE.
Here is the link to the video.

I must admit I find it unusual for a salesman to make reference to such personal issues to total strangers on an internet chat forum, it could be seen as tantamount to emotional blackmail and it really isn't relevant.
I have no idea whether the story is true or not, if it's not then it's in extremely poor taste. If it is true then most people will no doubt feel compassion but there's no reason to treat that person any differently than anyone else, in fact in my experience it's often the case that they prefer to be treated normally and not patronised.
Unfortunately scammers use similar tactics to pursuade the gullible to part with their cash so it's understandable that people may be suspicious, especially where there's selling and promoting involved.
I wish anyone who is ill a speedy recovery, obviously that includes Brandonf. There are people though who have suffered horrendous injuries and permanent disabilities and they selflessly and quietly do some quite extraordinary voluntary work to help others less fortunate without trying to exploit their situation for their own financial gain at other's expense.
I can't quite understand the point of the video though......
You've obviously excluded yourself from the category 'most people'!
I know you think posting that video exonerates you from being guilty of what I'm accusing you of, but to anyone with basic intelligence it actually goes to show exactly what I'm saying: that you are selling something, and using your supposed medical condition to make people feel bad for you.
It's a very basic confidence scheme. I've seen scumbag prop firm owners tell about their sick families. I even met a con man last week even in a Wall Street bar who was telling me about his medical ailments and his father's sickness and how he was going to give his dad a kidney. Then he was trying (very desperately, I might add) to convince me to "invest" in his Russian oil transportation insurance business.
People like you disgust me, especially since I feed free useful help to the community on a somewhat regular basis (look at my post history... I give out real trading information).
Just calling a spade a spade.
Carry on, gentlemen.

First of all you said I never even was sick in the first place. That I made it up in an effort to sell stuff. I dunno, maybe your right and I made a deal with the devil....Jee devil if you will just give me cancer it'll help me sell shit to people on ET.
Main problem, I dont have a damn thing to sell any of you.
