Trader Torres

Let me introduce you to the Big 3: @lanto_trades, .@thebrianstonk, and @dhesi_trades. Two days ago, @thebrianstonk posts that the GOAT Lanto grabbed ten of the new $50K Vest accounts and is already up $200K. "Some people say $700 is too expensive." Then, right on cue, use code SMART. Screenshot straight from their group chat. And there's @dhesi_trades in the replies: "His spend is so low too 🤣🔥" Spend so low. @lanto_trades told people he spent $21K. His screenshots show Accounts 41 through 50, all renamed, all with the same "A" icon instead of the account number. Then he posts his big $483K payout and forgets to crop the top of the screen, where it says Account 819. Deleted it fast, but not fast enough. Suddenly it's "full transparency coming soon," and today he's posting "there are expenses" and "when I made $2M on TPT, I spent over $300K." Funny how the expenses only show up after the screenshots do. This is the whole business model. One posts the P&L, one hypes it, one drops the code. Every win ends with a link. Nobody posts the blown accounts, nobody posts the real spend until they're forced to, and the payout screenshot is the ad. These aren't trading educators. It's a marketing team with a group chat. And this isn't a Vest thing. I've watched them run this same play with prop firm after prop firm for years, and they're not the only ones. Half the big streamers in this space do the exact same thing. New firm drops, new code, new screenshot, same script. People call it out, it blows over for a week, and then you're all right back in their replies calling them the GOAT and buying whatever they told you to buy. Because let's be honest, most of you aren't there to learn. You're there for the entertainment. The big numbers, the hype, the "bro that's 200K" in the chat. It's a show, and you're paying for the tickets with your eval fees. So at this point, if you're still buying accounts off their screenshots, just use code DUMB. Unfollow. Block. Stop funding their highlight reels. I blocked these three stooges when I exposed them before but ya’ll called me a hater. 💅🏼
