Is it that many these days?

I once said that when the market pushes out the legit sellers, all that will be left are the scammers scamming the scammers, and innocents will be lost. With the exception of Maidak and Neoex, who the hell is left worth dealing with at all (who is active)? It's a complete gamble, one I would take only knowing what I know, but if a newbie, I wouldn't touch someone without a semi established rep. EGS doesn't back any person at all, and actually promotes scamming, so it's important to know who you are dealing with since the cards are stacked against you.

I don't take joy in what EGS is becoming and watching the countless people getting scammed. I do take great joy in knowing that I saw this years ago, and Justice is falling into exactly what I told him the site would, karma if you will. To pull any income from his side of the business, it has to be criminal in nature, there is no other way at this point. You as a trader need to know that the site has all intention of scamming you, so what are you going to do about it. Are you smarter than a scammer, whom has made this a business with their years of experience, trials and errors?

The first thing you need to do is get off EGS, or find yourself hardened through the hard knocks of loss. Granted, you may find luck as well, but evil has a tendency to compete.

That's the problem right there. Newbies trust the EGS staff. They trust the MM. They trust the super moderator. When one becomes a scammer, there is little anyone on EGS can do to stop it.

I don't know if you've been keeping up with what's going on, but Justin Washington and his associates have at least admin status on EGS. Everyone trading on EGS is a sitting duck regardless of reputation.

I've been keeping up, but I refuse to believe Justin hacked his way into an admin position. As I've said in another post, I believe the door was open (at cost). Desperate men do desperate things, and Justice has been desperate for money for many years.

I was approached by scammers many years ago to reap a ton in profits (using my rep), denied every one to the end. I don't feel Justice ever had that ability to do so. Unfortunately, he holds the site and all access. He has everything to gain and nothing to lose. We know he's ethically contaminated, so there's no reason to believe he would deny an opportunity.
