The answer to both questions is: NO. I have never used multiple aliases in an attempt to deceive anyone about who I was. As an employee of Trading Places I was contractually forbidden from stating my name. I repeatedly asked Chris Rea to make this public. He refused. Then I began to understand his motives. He did not wish anyone at TP to understand that the calls I was making, which I believe were of a very high quality, were coming from me. How could this possibly help me? Rea designed this so I would get no credit for my work. If anything, I made the skibum nick look better than had in some time. In fact, only two weeks after I began comments were made in the room about the dramatic improvement in calls coming from skibum. At this point I told a great many members who I was. If you look back far enough here that contract is posted here. Your iomplications make no sense. Why? For the simple fact that I never, ever traded stocks while I moderated. I was paid $2,500 a month and that is it. rea didn't even pay me for the last month I worked there. That is because he is a cheat and also knew that I was going to bring these matters out.

Shortly after I learned of the true nature of Trading Places and brokerage business practices, I contacted the SEC and Congress, and thereafter made it public in this country. How does that tally with your implications, I wonder? If I were guilty then why would I make the activities of Trading Places public as I have? Why would I launch a lawsuit? My goodness. Twist the truth as much as you wish, it shall not change what has happened. I stand behind all I did in day trading. I am ashamed of nothing. Quite to the contrary, I am very proud of what I have tried to do.

O.A.
