| Jim Goldman Prometheus HFT trading scam, scam, doesn't pay, owes money Internet |

| About a two months ago i started working for Prometheus HFT. I worked with the owner Jim Goldman on a daily basis building the recruitment program for his trading company. I worked 50+ Hours /week for 6 weeks for him. Then things started turning for the worst. Jim Goldman kept changing the direction of the company and delaying my payment for the work I had done. He said the check was sent out and I never received it. Then he said he would be resending the check out with a tracking number. Never sent. He then kept delaying and saying he would send it out. I then started doing more research to see how I could move forward with legal proceedings. Only to find out there were 10's of others in the same position as me. Looks like he was scamming many others at the same time. Jim Goldmans phone now doesn't work and his email is shut down. |

I am a victim as well. I answered a Craigslist ad back on 4/1/11 for an Entry Level / Derivatives Trader position. I was first contacted by Jim Goldman from an email address from Citadel Trading, [email protected], to go through web-based training which I did. He had me set up a Mirus Futures demo account for NinjaTrader. I first traded for him on 4/27/11 and received an email the following day that trading volume had increased 10x since the beginning of the month and that they were taking the server down for maintenance. My second day of trading was on 5/2/11 followed by another email the following day saying they were taking the server down again and were in search of a third party platform. He said trading volume had gone up exponentially and that the server was not going to be able to efficiently handle the volume if the volume continued to grow. I knew it was too good to be true...no trading capital required from me whether for trading or a good faith security deposit for a 50/50 split of the profits. I was laid off in the beginning of February and have experience daytrading index options so this sounded like a great way to make money. I paid him $100 for training, platform usage and commissions which he later said would be credited back to me as commissions were going to also be split 50/50 under the new trading account he was setting up with CQG. He owes me just shy of $400 for two days of trading. He called me up a few weeks ago and told me his partner left leaving him in the red and he was trying to come up with the money to pay his traders. I got a bunch of emails from him saying he would call and/or email me to explain developments further. He would never call when he said he would, if at all. I last spoke with him on 5/29/11. I am afraid of a larger scam in the works as he now has my social security #, driver's license # and birth date. I know he does not owe me much, but, I have a one year old to feed!

I was also scammed by Jim Goldman. I went through the exact same story as above except I did not do recruiting, I just traded for 3 months. There are 20 people around the country that I know of that Jim owes roughly 60k-70k to and there were around 7 more people that have not surfaced. Jim told me there were 27 traders under him.
And Jim if you google your name and read this I want you to know we're closing in on you. You thought you covered your tracks through schemes like having a 26 year old woman sign your checks but you were sloppy in a few areas. YOU WILL BE FOUND! And I'll travel to visit you in jail! |
