hey, I'm impressed, now what? I mean there seems to be two possible explanations here:
1) this was a legit investigation and it really did take this long;
2) this was a scam and they decided that it was worth eating 5 grand for the sake of an improved reputation
Hey Pharaoh et al, I haven't seen this too often and IMHO it bears further investigation, don't you?
It seems to me there are some huge, trustworthy players in this game and a lot of small startups, some of which are ok and most of which are not.
Don't we have here an opportunity to dig in and find out what divides them?
Newer guys like me need to eventually find a long-term main broker, and finding out the answer to the two possibilities above would be most interesting.
