Mind you IP folks.

Wow, and he lives on the outskirts of Brisvegas, I wonder if we can coax him into civilisation to teach us some of the D34dly! hahaha
On a side note, why you would ever agree to pay upfront fees to an equity raiser I do not know…

So he’s not an actual Hedge fund manager, he’s just your common or garden bullshitter.
Don’t besmirch the name of genuine hedge fund managers with this fraudster it plays into the hands of the anti-capitalist lunatics who are seeking to abuse the current down turn to advance their own world destroying communist agenda.
All right thinking people need to resist the noxious poison of the socialist deception and no quarter can be given in the vital fight against the fascistic collectivism of the left.

But he’s not to be trifled with, he has “over ten years internet experience”.
Hahaha, what a knob.
*Edit: but yes, despite claiming to be a pioneer of the hedge fund industry, he is in fact an equity fund manager, supposedly.

Exactly dude, listen to this guy, He’s totally Gordon Gekko, because the BBC says so.
Despite him actually being a one man band operating out of his bedroom, he’s totally a master of the universe.
So he’s a make-believe trader in addition to being a make-believe martial artist. Sweet.
I’ve dug a bit and found Yellow gold. This is the blog mentioned in the article above that “Dr” Alvin authored.
Yellow Bamboo - Balinese White Magic
By Dr Alvin G. Donovan III
http://www.yellowbamboohk.com/yellowbamboo/YB-BalineseWhiteMagic-AlDonovan.html
(Yellow Bamboo is a Balinese White Magic type of Martial Art and Spiritual practice that are becoming more well known in the West the last couple of years. This article by Dr Alvin G. Donovan III, a Yellow Bamboo Master, gives a personal first-hand report about how he first got to know about this system)
I must admit I have always been a sceptic when it comes to magic or the supernatural.
Notice how close his misspelling is to “septic”. Ah, the Universe and its grand jokes.

Hahaha, when I read about the full moon initiation I couldn’t help but think he was actually at a full-moon party in Koh Phangan and tripping balls. It would actually explain a lot.
We agreed to go to the next full moon initiation ceremony to be held at the Yellow Bamboo headquarters in Singaraja on the north coast of Bali.
I’m friends with the two gentlemen in the video who choke out the Yellow Bamboozlers on the beach. The fat fuck is Alvin Donovan:
I sent the link to them, and I’ll report back on their incoherant swearing.
[QUOTE=Chili Pepper;2669697]The fat fuck is Alvin Donovan[/QUOTE]
I’ve been corrected - the fat guy was actually a student, who they went gentle on since they were trying to help him see the light. Donovan dodged the whole thing.
They’re on it, and to quote “There’s no author listed, but I’m on this like a pit-bull on a poodle.” More updates to follow.
Sorry, don’t mean to derail this, but was there any specific reason for Mr. Grapply to call the YB guys “losers” to the camera at the end? Former history of bad blood or did their fairy tale martial art just really get on his nerves?

It’s the classic retort to a bunch of self-proclaimed mind killing psychic masters who can’t actually use physical skills of any kind to defend themselves from getting, literally and verbally, the sand kicked in their faces.

The latter - it’s how you get the taste of bullshit out of your mouth. Donovan came on the old rec.martial-arts newsgroup and was touting his astounding psychic powers, and saying that disbelievers were always welcome to come to Bali and try their luck. Not wanting to also try their luck in a Balinese jail for beating up on the locals, there were no takers.
So, a few of the rma’ers in Australia managed to set up a little beach-side test of the YB’ers powers, and this was the result. The grapplers were nice enough to teach the YB’ers about how tapping out worked beforehand.
