TradeFortress reminds me of when Thomas Edison electrocuted cats, dogs and elephants with alternating current (AC) to show how dangerous it was compared to direct current (DC).

It's pretty clear TradeFortress isn't going to feel guilty for defrauding newbies and the moderators are going to protect "their own." (Ha!) But maybe a brief look at history will open some member's eyes to the way this type of BS propaganda sorts itself out.

Relevant quote: "In the end, though, all Edison had to show for his efforts was a string of dead animals, including the unfortunate Topsy, and a current that quickly fell out of favor as AC demonstrated its superiority in less lethal ways to become the standard."

Every electronic device on Earth uses DC, he didn't lose too badly.

Well yes he did, considering the application he was implementing it for. It certainly wasn't electronic devices.
