I'll tell you what it was.

I inboxed "ustrader" asking him to explain why he had two usernames associated with his IP address. One username was clearly deesigned to give the impression that he was from the united states (the username and his profile) - apparently with "Wall Street" buddies. The other alias is a Toronto-based one that has been active for at least 3 years on other boards and SH.

I asked him to explain how a person from the US could have the same IP as someone from Toronto. I was friendly, but I wanted to know if we were being manipulated or not. Clearly he chose to kill his account (nobody here banned him for a violation), rather than answer the question.

Answer: We were manipulated.

So I think it's safe to disregard everything he said to this board as a fabrication.
