Bro, I'm Going Rogue
Wall Street, the FBI, and the trader they couldn't break. The Guy Gentile memoir — from a Mount Vernon paper route to founding DAS Trader, SpeedTrader, and SureTrader, to the undercover cooperation that put spoofers and pump-and-dump crews in federal prison.
Wolf of Wall Street meets American Hustle — except it's true.
Bro, I'm Going Rogue is the memoir Guy Gentile spent thirty years earning the right to write. Mount Vernon, New York. A paper route at eleven. A $250-a-week hustle in 1987 that turned into a $9 stock trade at fifteen, then into DAS Trader, SpeedTrader, and SureTrader / MintBroker International.
Then the FBI showed up. What came next — the wire, the meetings in the Bahamas, the spoofers and promoters he helped bring down, the trial he refused to lose — is on the record now. This is that story, told the way it actually happened. Private jets, surveillance vans, a Mercedes in the pool, and the trades that never stopped running in the background.
No ghost writer. No PR polish. First person, front to back.
What you get in Bro, I'm Going Rogue
- 01
Mount Vernon origin
The 112-house paper route at eleven, the $250-a-week hustle in 1987, and the mindset that got the kid from a Mount Vernon block to the trading floor.
- 02
How the industry actually got built
The real story of DAS Trader, SpeedTrader, SureTrader, and the direct-access brokers that changed retail trading — from someone who was in the room.
- 03
The FBI cooperation
The indictment, the wire, the offshore meetings, and the spoofers and pump-and-dump promoters who did not know Guy was working with the government.
- 04
The private-jet, penthouse, Mercedes-in-the-pool life
Nassau. Manhattan. Dubai. The set pieces are real, the receipts exist, and none of this was scripted — but it reads like it was.
About the book
- Who wrote Bro, I'm Going Rogue?
- Bro, I'm Going Rogue was written by Guy Gentile — a 30+ year professional trader and the founder of DAS Trader, SpeedTrader, and SureTrader / MintBroker International. It is his first-person memoir.
- What is Bro, I'm Going Rogue about?
- It is the true story of Guy Gentile — from an 11-year-old kid running a 112-house paper route in Mount Vernon, New York, to building direct-access trading firms that reshaped retail day trading, to being pulled into an FBI undercover cooperation that helped put spoofers, pump-and-dump promoters, and manipulation crews in federal prison.
- Is it based on real events?
- Yes. The book is a memoir. Names, venues, and legal outcomes tied to public court records — including the New Jersey indictment and the cooperation that followed — are drawn from those records. Dialogue and scene detail are reconstructed from Guy's memory.
- How is it different from Rogue Alpha?
- Rogue Alpha is the trading playbook — setups, short-selling, and risk rules. Bro, I'm Going Rogue is the story — how the guy running those trades ended up wearing a wire in the Bahamas. Different books, same author.
- Wolf of Wall Street or American Hustle vibe?
- Both. Bro, I'm Going Rogue reads like Wolf of Wall Street meets American Hustle — private jets, penthouses, FBI meetings, undercover ops, and a trading floor that never really closed. Except this one is true and the narrator is still alive to tell it.

- Does the book name names?
- Where individuals are on the public record — indictments, convictions, SEC actions, media coverage — they are named. Where they are not, they are described but not identified. This is a memoir, not a hit piece.
- Is Bro, I'm Going Rogue a business book or a memoir?
- Memoir first. There is plenty inside about DAS Trader, SpeedTrader, SureTrader, and how the modern day-trading industry actually got built — but this is the life story, not a business school case study.
