    This story is beyond bizarre. There is no way to describe it other then to post the details including his own words. Curtis Faith, one of the famous turtle traders under Richard Dennis as well as author of a book on turtle trading as well as serial entrepreneur has led an interesting life. He use to occasionally post on ET.

    Rape? Conspiracy? NSA? Obama? Just read this shit. It's batshit crazy.

    When you hit the climax of your career in your early twenties, there is a lot of time left to fall really low...:(

    I read a few of the articles but I'm still uncertain as to what I read. Guy's gone totally cray-cray. :D

    I had the misfortune of reading a Curtis Faith trading book once.
    I DID read it, although from the first pages, I felt silly doing so.
    But it was plain to me that he was no trader, *knew* he was no trader, and sought to maximize gain from the brand, before it evaporated into the wisp of luck from whence it came.

    Disagree....his trading books are first rate ....it's a real shame he now appears to be suffering from a mental illness.

    Oh well.

    I think you might be right. I had dinner with him once in Chicago. A very nice guy, couldn't be more normal. I know some people can change in life when they become "activists" for a cause. It can cause them to tap into emotions they never had before. But this is looking more and more like mental illness. He admitted to having only $27 to his name and there are tweets of his crying out for help after he was arrested. I feel really bad.
