This guy apparently runs a company that has millions and takes advantage of inefficiencies. He's not creating the fake articles but he's using what it creates to his advantage. From what I understand, he will run the price down if there is low liquidity and trigger your stop losses and somehow make money doing it.
I don't think there is any rule or law requiring companies to hard delete customer data. I would bet that most companies never delete based on know your customer, anti-laundering, and other SEC regulations.
I applied years back and now get them once in a while when they decided to go full WFM maybe 6 months back. They make the email seem like a manager is interested in your skillset for a specific role, etc but it is clearly an automated template.
No, but the crazy stuff sure seems to be coming back into play again. There was an article out a few days back about 10? year old who made 400k with a set of pixelated whale NTF's.
I really have to question how Binance is pulling off basically no fee trading. There's something not right as if they may be hit with pretty hard regulation. Add in the Brian Brooks lasting two months as CEO of .US and Catherine Coley's short stint (and disappearance). I would transfer some of my funds over since they seemed to cleanup the customer service nightmare but it seems like too much unknown risk.
You can buy daily BTC/ETH which is delivered at 4pm, and the fee is a flat $5 per coin (so ~0.01% at the current BTC price). BTC is traded in 0.01 increments and ETH in 0.1 increments.
Caveat is that only wire deposits are accepted, so the wire fees plus network fees (if you withdraw your coins) can raise this cost substantially if you only trade small amounts.
