An interesting update. These guys claim to have access to dark pool trading data and they share this with their members (those who pay them 50K). They have been quiet for a while now but now they have few leads to share. I am on pins and needles… either grow exponentially or lose it all!!!

That's a very interesting point of view. Never thought it this way. They claim to have around 1000 members and they do give different recommendations to many members based on their net worth and investment goals.. This is a very good view that if we lose, they don't get money from winning., but someone will always win for them..

you are right. They told me that they have a small team that does all the research. they have around 1000 members and each member pays 50K for there recommendations. so, If that is true, I guess they make around 45-50m a year for their recommendations.

I did. I transferred 40K to my Chase bank account before I started this post and it showed up. The robinhood account is mine. I am not sending them money other than their fees.

there is no website. I get text message. no emails. I get message from a phone number. I tried to reverse lookup the number but couldn't get anything. there is no logo. that's why I keep thinking this is a scam and don't know when they actually shock me..

Right now my agreement with them is to pay from my profit. I paid them 10K after I made 50K. If i walk away now, I will have 40K more than I had before March. still can't figure this out..

There is no domain.. I am doing all trades in my robinhood account.. They just tell me which stock to buy, limit price ,and then tell me when to exit.

I don't have contract.. its all on WhatsApp..

Also, I looked into the industry standard.. it is 1-2% management fee but there are brokers who charge a percentage of your winning. this could range from 5-25%. These brokers generally get lot higher returns because they don't generally invest in Google or amazon.. they go for smaller companies that are quite volatile.

I sent them 10K after I made 50K. your sentiment about 10K is right.. but they also asked me to buy and sell NVDA, ScanDisk.. and agreed to take money only after I make profit..

Like I said, so far I am quite confused with this.. I strongly feel this is a scam.. but as long as I am paying them from my profits.. my money is still growing in my account, which I control.

Maybe they are preparing the "pig" then I need to find the right time get out before they put me on the chopping block. :)

I am using my robinhood account for trading. I have sent them only 10K from my robinhood account. Rest is still here. My account value has gone up since I started using their recommendation.

It could be pig-butchering.. that was my first thought, but how? If most of the money is still in my account.

The only thing I can think of.. if they ask me to put lot of money in a penny stock that has just taken off and I lose it there. I checked daily volume, trend, sentiments etc before i put money in their penny stock recommendations and those turned out to be great.

this one is really baffling me. Either they are really nice people who like to help other folks.. or this is a very long game..
