The bottom line is that while his picks were free for now (in which I agree that can only benefit those who want them and won't hurt anybody who doesn't), he was being deceitful and refused to explain his true intentions. Akphidelt called it right away. Why couldn't MoneyMaverick say the following: I will be on here for a little while posting my picks and after proving myself to you, I will hope that you follow me on my pay for picks service and continue making money with me.
Instead, he kept lying and avoiding the topic, and now he claims "we ruined it for us". Akphidelt has the freedom to post whatever he wants. And if he thinks he sees a guy on here who is blatantly trying to earn some customers for his pay for play service, then he can call him out for it. If that makes the guy stop posting, then bye bye. This wouldn't even be an issue if MoneyMaverick wasn't trying to mislead acting like he is just a guy like the rest of us on here just posting free picks. He had other intentions and thought he was slick. Akphidelt caught on, exposed the truth and the guy ran off.
Why did he run off? Who knows? He could have just said, Yeah Akphidelt, you are right. I will be selling picks soon. But in the meantime in an effort to get some of you to buy them, I will post my picks here for a month and prove to you guys it's worth buying them from me. But instead, he talked about a bunch of nonsense. The real question is: why isn't moneymaverick still posting his picks here anymore? Because "we ruined it?" Ruined what? What does that even mean? Just be honest and cut the shit.
