"Faulty comparison! Mike does not trade OPM "
The point is that if you invest in a product (fund, education, etc) where the underlying assumption is that during some period of time one can reasonably expect to make profit then the purveyors of that product IMHO have an obligation to provide upon request evidence that the product does what it says it is supposed to do. Do you not think J16 intends that it's product is supposed to result in profit? If so then what is the harm in providing evidence? By not doing so then one must assume that is because they cannot and neither can anyone else including their members. And I'm not talking about a few months. Let's see something for 6 months to a year at least.
Architects, doctors, nurses, plumbers, electricians all must complete an education to start practicing their trade. The educators of these trades/professions must all be accredited to some degree. One thing is for sure. These educators can and must provide graduation rates and the fact is that most of the graduates of these kinds of trades/professions will find gainful employment.
"Compare an educator with an educator instead:"
Again to me it's not whether or not you are an educator, a fund or what have you. It is the idea that you are taking money and claiming that if you follow the methods taught that you will profit. At least a fund publishes it's results positive or negative so you can make a properly informed investment decision. Here is the dirty little truth and the real reason why J16 doesn't provide any statistics: If they did they would reveal that the vast majority if in fact not all of their members does not and has not consistently profited from the J16 methods and that would immediately kill their business model which is making money on membership fees and other services they now provide for a fee. Furthermore I would not be surprised if none of the senior members, including the mild-mannered Mike and even the infamous Jim himself make consistent profit on their own methods.

I guess that is one thing to call it. I call it a legal money making scheme taking advantage of individuals who have little or no hope of ever making a consistent dime and J16 knows it. The proof is in the pudding. They have taken millions from the ignorant. They claim to have produced successful traders for the last 10 years. I have yet to see even one of these successful traders come forward. And there never will be one.
I will respond to your other comments.
