You are not as polite as I am.
One thing to note is that the fellow actually is a professor of computational mathematics and has done quite a lot of research connected to this thread http://143.53.36.235:8080/sjsacad.htm#pubs (this is the only reason why I find this thread interesting to be honest)
Anyway I'm quite interested if there is someone who has invested in him here because I assume this is one of the places where he could find investors.Ignored
But what does that say about the methods shown in this thread? Clearly he was trolling for investors. That requires evidence of return which he provided here.. though probably faked. That also requires that the methods shown are either incorrect or incomplete, since one could simply copy them and avoid the hedge fund if the methods were explicit and complete. If his hedge fund is paying off, he hid his method. More likely, it's not paying off, and he is conning the investors about having a method. If any of his investors are not too embarrassed to admit it, they could do us all a favor and report on results.
Hanging around because CB is a professor of mathematics seems foolish if he's also a con man with a hedge fund. Some of what he has said makes sense, but a lot of it is BS. He states many times that the filtering of FX series is not a linear problem, yet all he brings to that problem are linear filters. He complains of the non-stationarity of FX series, but applies methods that require stationarity. He was a spook, with primary credentials in cryptography and EW. That does not qualify him as an FX trader.
But some of the current members sharing on this forum seem to be very competent, so they may make something of his BS yet. Think I'll hang around and see where this goes.
