while we wait for tomolo here is a little tale.
Noticed neighbour sold his relatively 2 new cars and replaced them with an old beaten up car. Asked him what was wrong and he told that he was cheated by a Japanese run bucket shop in Singapore. The Japanese chap would execute trade via telex from his office to a telex in his apartment in Bayshore which was purportedly in Tokyo. The Japanese was eventually jailed but holds the record for a single criminal charged with the most number of offences. It ran into thousands.
My neighbour was introduced to this bucket shop by an ex-classmate. My neighbour told me that he tracked the deals on daily basis, read books on trading, horned his skills over months, and all the while no trade was ever executed with the exchange. eBut he got the confirmation sheet by post regularly.
Over the years I had to intervene on behalf of friends, relatives etc and nearly all the pitch were either made in offices in the business district, 5 star hotels or top clubs.
I gave up when the same clowns began buying time-share apartments in the Iberian Coast.
