I said to myself that there had to be more to life than this and I eventually came in contact with a few key people who convinced me to share my knowledge and God-given gifts with others. By the way, I will make numerous references to God, so if anyone doesn't like it, please leave now...I will refund your money. In the back of the room are my traders. As they will attest, my system works. Some of these guys were roofers, some were security guards, and some were my family members. I'm going to now open up one of my live accounts and show you what I've done in the past 10 months. This account was $200K in February and now it's $2MM. Anyone can do this...my system works. I hope you all enjoy yourselves and the meal I've had catered....yadayadayada..."
Red Flag One: Who is Lou? Why does he need investor money and seminars if he has an ATM in his pocket?
Red Flag Two: Did you see the traders he had in the back of the room? Enough said.
Red Flag Three: The references to God...the opportunity to get your money back and leave if you don't like it.
Red Flag Four: If you see a military person, buy them lunch and send me the bill...did anyone get an address or phone number for this? How do we send him the bill? I have 1000 lunches for military personnel for you, Lou!!! LOL!!!
Red Flag Five: If Lou has umpteen million dollars, then why does his website look like my 4 year old put it together (Typos, mis-spelled words, etc...)? Actually, I just I just insulted my daughter...sorry, baby.
Red Flag Six: All these smart investors (Doctors, Lawyers, Business entities) and no one did a background check??? Are you freakin' kiddin' me!
Red Flag Seven: The poor communication after initial investment. The inability to explain what the root cause for any occurance. The lack of followup and shady business practices.

Sattelite101: Wow... you're quick to jump and judge traders based on appearances aren't you? Were you quick to speak your mind, publicly at the time? I doubt it... because you can now hide behind a screen name. Let me assure you of a few things: Were there traders put in their position that shouldn't be there? ABSOLUTELY! But for you to be so callous and generalize all traders, based on appearance only, speaks for itself... very LITTLE of you. As you have at this point figured out, I am a previous trader of the Forex Project... now very regretfully. But I will tell you I left a very prestigious career to gain experience in the currency trading industry. Now, after my association with this company, I can't go back to the career I left because of the mark that has been left locally. But it makes me nothing shy of irate to hear you belittle traders, especially based on appearance. I assure you once again... there were many awesome traders and some of them you never would have guessed. So... from this point forward, choose your words a little more wisely... Your cut-throat comments generalizing a group when you obviously know nothing about them is very unbecoming of you!!!!
