In fact, TP set official names for moderators, Rea was "Merlin," Chris Curran was "C2," and the third analyst was "skibum." Rea required that I post under that name because he didn't want people knowing a former client of TP who was ruined was offered a job as a lead analyst, which is understandable, how to explain that? Going to be an interesting element of my case in due course, i.e. does this mean they knew all clients would be ruined and I was actually quite accomplished to survive as long as I did? Now, for example, DTO did the same, several analysts posting under the DT name. When Goldman Sachs issues an upgrade or downgrade, that rec may be made by an individual through his research or a team, but the rec is made in the name of GSCO. On the other hand, posting online e.g. at SI through multiple aliases is quite different, as I've alleged Berber, Moor, Rea and others have done, posing as successful traders when in fact they were all Berber and his cronies. Whatever name I had at TP to post my recs, they were either profitable or not, no escaping that and before and when I left I contacted traders and let them know what I did then about TP, which was not everything, took a long time to unravel their deceit.
