At absolute best, this guy is a skilled trader and will, on average, beat the market by 10 points/year.

This is a currency trader he's talking about... triple digit annual returns are not that unusual!

Why, these guys are damned honest. I got off the boat in Koh Tao and he was like "WHEUH JU CUM FUM, U NEED LOOM, JU VANT I TRADE BAHT JU, TAXI!!"

A friend of mine is using this guy. He is about to setup his managed account and referred me. I'm very skeptical (probably overly so) of this kind of thing. He's very smitten on this idea.

I'm going to go back and ask him Snipers questions and see what comes of it. He told me his broker but I can't recall and I didn't recognize it.

I doubt I'll be doing this now but will post the answers to those questions when I get them.

Thanks for the input

1. This is a scam, so I'd avoid, but...
2. Make sure to check with the auditor to make sure the financials are real
3. Get references
4. Check his CRD

And if he answers the phone at the auditors offices, then for sure it's a scam. This is (allegedly) how the Bayou Capital guy hid his fraud, setting up his own phony accounting firm to "audit" his own results.
