Part IV — Fraud on the Court: The OIG Complaint Against the SEC Staff Attorneys Who Built the SureTrader Case in the Dark

An investigative reading of the Office of Inspector General complaint Guy Gentile's counsel drafted against the SEC: a 2015 threat letter to a Bahamian employee, an ignored cease-and-desist from Bahamian counsel, a March 10, 2016 'whistleblower' submission filed thirteen days before the SEC and DOJ both sued, a stayed federal docket the SEC kept investigating around, an executive-meeting audio recording the staff attorney did not stop, a chain of emails directing a foreign national to spy on a US citizen without a warrant, and a foreign regulator told things about Guy Gentile that the staff attorney could not back up. Named, dated, sourced.

How the SEC Rigged the SureTrader Trial: A 10-Day Show Trial Built on a Withdrawn Rule, Three Bad Witnesses, and a Jury Charge That Took the Verdict Away From the Jury

Inside SEC v. MintBroker/Gentile, the 2024 federal jury trial in the Southern District of Florida: a 1989-withdrawn interpretive statement converted into a jury instruction, a self-disclaimed 2013 staff FAQ used as the controlling definition, an SEC opening that invoked the FINRA Pattern Day Trader rule sixty-one times as if it were federal law, three witnesses with serious credibility problems, and a court that denied summary judgment in May and then directed the verdict on the elements six weeks later. Named, quoted, and sourced to the public record.

Is Marc Cohodes Next? After the Andrew Left Verdict, the Loudest Short-Seller on the Tape Should Be Sweating

The Andrew Left conviction redrew the line between research and manipulation. Marc Cohodes built his entire brand on the other side of that line — bullhorn campaigns, regulator phone calls, and personal pressure on the people he is short. After the Left verdict, every one of those tactics is now legal exposure.

The PDT Rule Is Dead: I Said It Was Stupid 15 Years Ago — Now the Regulators Agree

FINRA and the SEC finally killed the Pattern Day Trader rule in 2026. I built an entire offshore broker around getting small accounts past it, took the heat for years, and said publicly the rule harmed the traders it was supposed to protect. Here is what the rule actually did, why it failed, how it pushed retail into worse risk, and what comes next now that it is gone.

Week in Review: SPCX, Iran, Warsh's Fed, and the Triple Witching That Closed the Quarter's Loudest Week

Five sessions stacked the biggest IPO in history, an interim US–Iran accord, Kevin Warsh's first FOMC, and triple witching into one tape. SPCX printed, gave back, and stabilized. Crude bled the war premium. The dot plot turned hawkish. The whole week on one page — what moved, why, and what I'm carrying into next week.

Warsh's First FOMC: Five Task Forces, a Hawkish Dot Plot, and the Quiet Repricing of Fed Independence

Kevin Warsh held rates, abstained from the dot plot, and announced five task forces to overhaul the Fed — comms, balance sheet, data, jobs/productivity, and the inflation framework. The S&P fell 1.21%, the Nasdaq 1.34%, yields ripped, SPCX gave back 5%. Crude kept bleeding the war premium after the US–Iran signing — Brent under $77 this morning. Futures are green on the Iran print. Here is what actually happened and what the desk is doing into the open.

SpaceX Goes Public, Iran Goes to the Table: The Weekend That Re-Priced Two of the Biggest Trades on the Tape

SPCX printed the largest IPO in history and closed up 19% on day one. Over the same weekend, the US and Iran moved a draft accord to the one-yard line and crude started bleeding the Hormuz risk premium. Two of the most crowded macro trades just changed character at the same time.
