It was Japanese regulators uncovering Armstrong's fraud which triggered the US investigation. The Japanese government is not going to take financial advice from a American when it was their regulators are investigating him for fraud.
"The fact is the government ordered him to turn over his Socrates computer, and he refused…..then the persecution began"
😒. Really? Bringing up my past posts about this is necessary?
I posted previously about the Socrates AI scam,to you, using Martin's own website, "Institutional Time Share". Armstrong created Socrates after he was out of prison, not before. The computers and AI he talks about now did not exist back in the 1980s to early 2000s, and don't exist like he says they do now no matter what he claims.
The IBM Sequoia he claimed to have Socrates installed did not exist when he was convicted. It was owned entirely by the DOE and went into operation after he was out of prison, and used for a variety of research, public and classified. It should not require explanation that the DOE would never let a recently released convicted fraudster use a computer performing top secret research, or that the government would need to confiscate a computer from a private individual when they actually own the computer.
Armstrong still sells access to Socrates. It can't be the Sequoia, since it was disassembled in 2020, three years ago.
Whatever, you will choose what you want to believe. I myself read Armstrong’s blog daily, with excellent results over 25 years….sorry you do not.
