talks about futures (jacko said he used to trade them), forex and mentoring.

The domain is registered but it is parked, meaning the registrant did not upload any web pages. They use it for the email accounts that come with the domain hosting plan. So any email from @excglobal is related or the same party...this is not email like gmail.com or live.com etc., it a private domain.

Turn atttension back to the fund not what if whos here watching us stuff :S

yes, related to tina b/c same email domain.

This is normal behavior for fraudsters. I used to know a couple girls who worked, accounting, for a very wealthy individual. Every several weeks they would withdraw $5-$15K from the account and go on buying/party sprees. When they needed more, they just tapped the piggy bank again. It wasn't till they got to around $100K till the guy noticed the missing $$.

so which one is he? the dude in the wig or is it bubba tractor?

im sure there is more than one person with the name DG.....

listen to the radio interview on the website

of course you're right...i just thought it was funny to see those 2 clowns pop up on the facebook search.

listening to the interview now, good find.

I don't think she's part of it.
If she is, what purpose is she serving?

She's one of the first people to sound the alert that Jacko's gone and her money is gone.

Jacko or an accomplice would want to do the opposite.
He would try to keep everyone happy for as long as he could.
He wouldn't send someone in here to stir the pot.

If he has a shill in the thread, you can bet they won't publish an accurate email address that leads to a phone number and personal information about them.

Anyone ever wondered why he was unable to post any pictures from HK?


Bring me his head I say.

I just want to say that about a week ago I wanted to put a message on this thread saying that I had paid my 700 usd for 1 years membership and that jacko had not got back to me, had been ignoring my emails for a couple of weeks...and of course forex factory moderators did not approve my posting (im a junior member so my posts have to be approved).

At the time, I was just looking to see if anyone else had been in touch with him or alternative contact details etc

So FF does have some apologising to do, if they were doing their best to keep anything negative about jacko off this thread! I was skeptical in paying the 700 into a bank account (would rather have used paypal)...but the main reason I went for it was the mainly positive comments on this forum. But now I see that negative comments were being deleted, so this thread wasnt the unbiased source of knowledge I thought it was.

Anyway, my loss is small in comparison to those of you who are unlucky enough to have been using the managed funds. I fear you guys will not see your money

i just googled L.A.Knowles and its gave 33 matches in US.
PS. i checked my name and it was accurate

site is intelius

So much paranoia....and probably with good reason.

It is difficult to know who to trust. A united approach away from a public forum would probably increase odds of success, however you just don't know who is who!?

Good luck guys

I agree. If this is any consolation, I am another invester ($10,000). I still don't believe this is happening and still hoping for the best for all of us.

Hi Folks, I'm here with a message from the FF team.

First things first: there have been a lot of accusations that FF is partly responsible for this mess since we extracted posts that were against Jacko. That's absolute rubbish. We only extracted posts (never deleted, only extracted to the Recycle Bin) because we would get bombarded with Cleanup Reports from Jacko's followers stating that people were coming in and "ruining" the thread. We never protected Jacko, nor did we ever endorse him. We only did what we had to do to keep the peace. In fact we only extracted posts after the heat became too much, because we aren't keen on spending our time helping these commercial members keep their threads friendly.

As one example (there are hundreds more), last year a thread called "Forex Mentors - The Best Investment You Can Make? (http://www.forexfactory.com/showthread.php?t=187432)" got focused on Jacko. We let this thread stay on the forum despite calls from so many members, some of them senior, to Bin the thread. We literally would get 50 Cleanup Reports per day about the thread, but because it wasn't "ruining" Jackos thread and the claims weren't without some merit we allowed the thread to stay. Believe it or not, Jacko threatened to sue Forex Factory for defamation unless we gave him the IP address of some of the posters in that thread. Obviously we didn't do that.

Let's not forget when we started the Commercial Forum how many members screamed bloody murder that we had the audacity to consider Jacko commercial.

We take these accusations about us being partly responsible very seriously. Not because we're scared of the legal ramifications but because it's the opposite of what we stand for. We do not endorse, protect, encourage, or even like any commercial operators, and the same goes for Jacko.

We aren't going to say much else about this Jacko situation because we don't like spending our time dealing with commercial issues. We created the Commercial Forum because it was taking all of our resources just to keep the commercial stuff out of the FF forums. So many members, many of them very senior, want us to make a judgment call on commercial operators to say if they are worthy of being a Commercial Member or not, and this situation with Jacko shows why we don't want to get involved in judging products and services. The only place we pass judgment on a product is with our Preferred Brokers (http://www.forexfactory.com/brokers.php), and that is made easier by regulatory bodies, plus we're willing to take the time to investigate brokers since we depend on them for ad revenue. Notice we don't allow any non-brokers to advertise on FF? That should tell you how we feel about the commercial side of Forex. Our best advice is to stay out of the Commercial Forum because most of it is worthless or worse, and it's a bad use of time to sift through everything to find the few gems that may be in there. Focus on the other forums at FF, all of them commercial-free, that's where the good stuff is.

Also, we are not claiming that Jacko has scammed anyone, just like we didn't claim that he was legitimate. For all we know he could show up tomorrow and return all investor money with a 100% profit. We have not investigated Jacko and we don't feel it's our responsibility to do so either. Our team is busy creating products and improving the FF website, there is no crimes unit here.

when everything comes out you will be part to blame twee,you have let jacko rule in ff because of one reason traffic to your site.you never looked into anyones claims only to jackos user names and blind followers this is only the tip of the iceberg and you will be left holding the baby you suspended me two times and extracted my and many others warning posts and even asked me not to post on jackos thread and then you would unsuspend me ive still got the email,why you never looked into forexmick fxtrader29 capitalfx daring dave newbietrader and many other jacko usernames, your excuse is weak i hope you can sleep at night funny how one rule for one.when you found out diret-trade was shakes his thread was down in a few hours and he was not even selling anything you have allways protected jacko and look what hes done shame on you and ff.hope some guys get to see this post before its binned and im banned

i recall a thread started by someone who had claimed they had gone to hongkong and met jacko, watched him trade, and went shopping with him (using investors $$??).........but i cant find the thread

that's a person worth contacting, assuming their story wasnt a fabrication

perhaps someone might remember the thread i refer to

it was a jacko user name newbietrader101

Maybe the writting was on the wall....
