There was a whack job here who was obsessed with Armstrong.
He posted ridiculous arguments without understanding the legalities.
I know of Armstrong through my career as a hedge fund manager and RIA.
I patiently tried to explain why he was totally wrong.
I think he got zotted eventually and ran to create the website you link.
I note he doesn’t use his own name.
I’ve never met Armstrong, nor attended any of his events.
Since I am a monthly supporter of FreeRepublic, my identity is well known.
If anyone finds value in some of what Armstrong publishes or not, it’s their call.
I have no idea of most FReeper real life identities - despite interacting with many over decades. I think I’m in touch with only one in real life. Another 2, book authors, I know their names, but have never interacted in the real world.
He was held in contempt for refusing to turn $15 million in assets over to the court, not for refusing to give "the government" his computer programs. If "the government" or the CIA wanted his software so much, they could have seized it while he was in prison for eleven years.
Part of his plea agreement is he cannot work with any registered financial advisor or institution. Anyone registered to work in finance can't work with him because he can't register as a financial agent.
Why defend a convicted felon who can't work in the finance industry, and when the financial industry avoids him, no matter how good his phony self promotion looks?
“I know of Armstrong through my career as a hedge fund manager and RIA.”
Did you know he was convicted of lying and securities fraud involving a ponzi scheme?
“I know of Armstrong through my career as a hedge fund manager and RIA.”
If you only knew of him, why did you post numerous articles and links to his site?
“I’ve never met Armstrong, nor attended any of his events.”

You will not go to any other conference and sit next to central bank managers, family office leaders, etc. at the level of the armstrong economic conference. I’ve been to the other conferences in my former field. No where near the same.
