Illogical. AltcoinUK is not selling you anything. He is rebutting your trolling. You are on a crusade to slander Armstrong (and without a coherent understanding of the facts). And now you stoop to asserting that rebutting you is akin to selling something.
You do not like that MA promotes his work. Fine. So go preach on a soapbox some where. We are telling you that we find some value in reading his blog. His long-term predictions have been particularly insightful (and I have refuted all your lies/misconceptualizations about that).
I dont care what you find particularly insightful. I am here to examine facts, not someones feelings, views, biases, religious beliefs or objects of worship. You have refuted nothing; all you did was just reiterating some bs you swallowed from MA without applying any common sense whatsoever. If you want to refute something you do so not but simply stating the opposite or babbling bs after someone like a brainless parrot, ok. You do so by bringing facts or evidence supporting your claims, citing sources, etc. But before that you first have to finally learn how to read and then read what are you going to refute.
And you believe everything you read on Wikipedia without researching all the facts. Armstrong has shown the documentation that it was the banks who were cheating and when they got caught, they tried to pin it on him. But in the end, the banks admitted to it and paid a fine. He was entirely vindicated.
Also he was never convicted (certainly not in an open court with a jury of his peers, but rather the corrupt Goldman Sachs-affiliated judge kicked out all the media!). He was held illegally in contempt-of-court for 7 years because he refused to turn over the source code to his computer model to Goldman Sachs. And when they found out that his case was about to be heard by the Supreme Court, they had him beat up and his teeth knocked out in prison so that he would accede to a plea bargain deal. He was coerced.
This is like the 5th time I have explained this in this thread. It makes me very angry that you abuse my time by not reading the thread entirely before you blow your snot all over this thread.
Oh here we go again. You think if you keep repeating something, it somehow will turn into facts. Show me the documentation and everything else that prove your and MAs claims. I brought to you several sources on which I based my conclusion here
Its all MA claims with no proof as usual. He always makes claims with no factual evidence whatsoever (just like with historic data, supercomputer, trading performance, $1trln under contract, advising for top government officials and central bankers around the world, etc). After all, have you ever heard of any convicted criminal admitting they were convicted legally? As for MA, read the articles below
http://topics.nytimes.com/top/reference/timestopics/people/a/martin_a_armstrong/index.htmlhttp://nihoncassandra.blogspot.ru/2006/08/enigma-of-martin-armstrong.html http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2011-09-28/felon-forecaster-blogs-on-8-6-year-economic-cycles-after-11-years-in-jailand consider this:
1. He was caught not by the Wallstreet, corrupt bankers or anyone affiliated with the US authorities (so its yet another MA bs that it was the US bankers plot against him) but by the Japanese watchdogs and prosecutors.
2. No media (both then and now, both independent and dependent) ever said he was clean and innocent (in fact, they say the opposite)
3. None of his Japanese clients ever said anything in defense of MA. In fact, nobody said anything except his mother.
4. If the whole thing was set up against him personally (as he claims), why is it that two of his workers and his bank were also pleaded guilty.
5. If the plea was forced, as you say, why those two workers also pleaded guilty? Were all their teeth also bashed and all that?
6. If he was clean, why Republic Securities, now a unit of HSBC Holdings Plc, also pleaded guilty, admitting it helped Armstrong swindle clients. It paid $569 million in restitution.? Again, the bank admitted that MA did swindle clients. Not as you claim
And after all, it the banks involved admitted he took no funds and paid fines for their malfeasance. It was a giant corruption.
7. Finally, if everything was so illegal against him, why didnt he sue them all? At least the media? Or at least present all documents and evidence he has to the public so independent lawyers could look at it and tell their views?
Because he did cheat Japanese investors and he knows it. Look what he said he cant be liable for fraud or running a Ponzi scheme because he wasnt acting as a money manager. Notice, that he does not say because he did not run\did not do any wrongdoing but because he wasnt a money manager. A technical aspect.
but youre still reiterating the same bs thinking that everybody is as stupid as you are.
This is all in the movie and the movie had to buy insurance about the facts being properly vetted. So the movie has already been vetted by attorneys working on behalf of the insurance company.
Again, do you have any evidence to support your claim? Any documents, articles, comments from insurance company\lawyers (if they do exist), media, etc. from which we could infer that qualified people did look into MAs case and concluded that he did not cheat? If yes, bring them here. All we have so far is some film made by unknown people and shown in a very few locations to a very limited audience.
sloanf, here you go for a concrete long-term prediction from Armstrong's Socrates computer.
And?
