Oliver Asser,

1. Did you perpetrate a fraud by taking someone else's
internet nickname, which had attached significant credibility ??

2. Did your fraudulent use of this name causing other
investors to unwittingly rely on your stock recommendations ??

3. Would you consider any loss investors incurred as
result of your rec's from this fraudulent
conspiracy - your responsibility ??

If you're afraid of answering and would prefer to seek
protections afforded under the fifth amendment, we all
understand.

Last March, in hiring Mr. Asser, Mr. Rea asked him to adopt the nickname of a former trader, Skibum. In an e-mail message to Mr. Asser confirming his employment contract, Mr. Rea said: "Under no circumstances will you allow anyone at Trading Places know the `real identity' of the nickname `skibum.' This is to protect the integrity and high regard many traders have for this nickname."

Mr. Rea said that he used the old nickname for Mr. Asser because he could not change his software.

Mr. Asser said he agreed to the ruse to get the job, which paid $2,500 a month. But he said he quickly clashed with Mr. Rea on stock and market calls and left the chat room on June 27. He has since become a vocal critic of Mr. Rea, telling his story to regulators and posting criticisms of Trading-places practices on other investing Web sites, like Silicon Investor.
