ArtutriusX is not a scammer, he's just a young idiot who made a escalating series of terrible decisions while trying to avoid dealing with the repercussions of his actions. When he was confronted with the same pitchforks that he usually wields, he lost it and started spouting crazy talk for a little while. He has since calmed down and per the ABT thread, looks like he's finally taking responsibility for his actions and refunding as promised. We'll know in a few days.

He should not be a mod again. Not because he is or isn't good at it, but because no matter what disclaimers are put out there, people associate mods with 2p2 management and the 2p2 brand, and the benefit of having him as a mod doesn't outweigh the hit to the 2p2 brand that will now come with having him in that position.

And you have to admit, his FTP argument was sooo ridiculously LOLbad that it served as pretty high quality entertainment, albeit inadvertently.

He may not be a scammer, but he's an opportunistic sleazeball. It took moving heaven and earth for ArtX to actually respond to his aggrieved client, and it took moving heaven and earth just to give this guy a refund. If it wasn't for the guy making this issue public ArtX would still be ignoring his emails. How many contradictory excuses were made for not responding?

Would make an excellent avatar if I didn't already have one I loved.

If people didn't finally go public to get a response/paid back, and Art was planning to be unresponsive as long as he could, nothing happening = them not receiving the money or services they were after. Call it whatever you want, it's really just hiding behind semantics.

I personally think he tried starting a legit business, it didn't go well, he got lazy and caught up with getting drunk in bars so he didn't feel like dealing with it, and figured it'd be a free roll to ignore the people until the point at which they make a big fuss (if they even did), where he then could simply claim he never received contact and has no problem issuing refunds.

+1.

Honestly, after reading his blog etc. I truly think he has a drinking problem. I mean when you are ignoring your business problems but are still out getting ****faced something is, uh, wrong. I don't think his intent was to scam he just let his life/ problems get ahead of him. Hopefully, he looks into a way to change this type of behavior before he starts another business venture. Odds are he won't.

Oh and I never believed he was a successful, at least not to any degree, trader.

Just because someone drinks doesn't mean they have a drinking problem.

boobies4me werent you multiaccounting and being scummy in general on the stars and full tilt 25/50 plo games

i think you are thinking of boobysmiles/ugotabanana / harry kzaka?

unless boobies4me is also some plo reg

Really solid

yea you are right, i confused the two.

No joke. Someone who throws off their responsibilties and goes on 5 day benders may though.

Also, I'm not saying for sure he does but obviously 5 day hangovers are going have an effect on his business ventures. I'm sure if he would have stopped being immature and irresponsible and addressed his problems, business problems that is, he wouldnt have had this issue.

Well...
Since this thread started, what, 10 days ago...

Please get some help, Dude.

Is that your ****ty twitter scraping website or something? Why do you keep linking to that instead of just his actual twitter?

no, that's boobysmiles as someone else mentioned.

6th street career was not created to scam people, the quality and value of the services they offered is up for costumers to judge.

Using a business to take money from people, then not provide any services while posting compulsively on 2p2/twitter, showing up only after the thing became hot on the forums.... You can call it what you want but that's a scam imo, regardless of his original intentions.

I think this is signaling the end of an era in 2p2, if you can't trust a mod with 20K posts with $800 then you know trusting people because of their "reputation" is not a smart move anymore.

I don't think this is necessarily true. Sometimes you can spot who is genuine and who isn't. There are plenty of genuine people on here and then well, there are plenty of people who were always full of it.

This yowserrrs (a complete tool - just look at his mentality) and ArturiusX are not to be trusted.

NEVER trust anyone who claims that they are a pro daytrader. It is impossible to make money at long-term. No doubt half these goons wants to re-write The Intelligent Investor and make out that they are 'correct'. They aren't.

The problem is there are less repercussions about not repaying someone over the internet.

That's not to say if you know someone and see them in person you won't still have issues, most people are just lax in paying other people back. I've done it myself with close friends (oddly, I'll pay someone back who I don't know as well much more quickly than someone I do).

I'd be very careful to ever give anyone any money over the internet. In all honesty I can't think of one person on this site, except maybe for a few people I've talked to through PM who seemed very legit.

Like they say, people are funny about money.

You are comparing Yowserrs, the best trader on this forum, to ArturiusX? Doesn't suprise me from a known tard.

Well this 'known tard' has made more money than you will ever see in your life (oh that is true) and you're another tard for believing the hype re Yowserrrs. He will not ever say what his ROI is over a year and those in the know knows why.

You sound like a typical brainwashed fool, so go make my day. Go and buy one of those course on how to become rich trading. Go on...

Is Yowswerrrrs selling anything?

If no then I don't see why it is any of our business what type of returns he attains.

What's the difference between disclosure and modesty?

Because he comes on here acting like some sort of big shot, uses the word '******' to anyone and everyone who disagrees with him, obviously gets outperformed by people who stated their investments beforehand, then never states his returns when called out.

Put up or shut up.

well, when he starts trying to call out other people for not providing proof of their trades/results, its only fitting to call him out as well, and when he can't provide any he just looks like another talker.

Best trader? Proof? Or is this just another opinion based off an internet persona? We've seen how well that's turned out time and time again. Yows turned down a free roll on $1k to provide proof that he's even outperformed people who simply bought and held gold.

I dont like Yows either guys but lets not pull his name into this thread. He is by no means a fraud or scammer just a bit arrogant.
