What a well thought out post. You showed more compassion to him then I am able to at this point. When I believed in Monk I cared a great deal for him. But over time I witnessed his abandonment of many den members, including myself, in several ways. I witnessed brutal callousness on the part of his assistant, and a phonyness whereby the touchy feely "family" love & concern portrayed on the boards & to strategic individuals, was not consistantly given behind the scenes. When I reached out to Monk for help w/trading after failing miserably going "live" day trading, he would hardly give me the time of day. I practically had to harass him and lose my cool expressing my anger in messages to him and a few others who were close to him, expressing that his rules were not working, and could he please spare some time to work w/me. He finally agreed to a day and time we could talk on the phone & go over my questions. Well, wouldnt you know, he was unavailable that entire day, and guess why....... Well because he had an opportunity to go flying, but didnt even bother to call & reschedule or apologize until I called him on it! As I saW more & more "neglect" of the so called "family" I got more and more angry & was expressing it to Jerry & some close to him. Nobody wanted to hear it. Finally, I practically had to beg Jerry for a scholarship to go to an advanced Monkinar so I could figure out what I was doing wrong. He took a while to get back to me, and I was tremendously struggling financially. I was a Divorced Mother of two, who lived below the poverty line who had already shelled out very hard to come by thousands of dollars to attend 2 Monkinars & all the travel & other expenses associated with them. He finally got back to me me & said he would give me $1500 to either pay bills with or use to go to another Monkinar. I accepted his offer, & he said he'd send a check because he didn't have a paypal account. Then, weeks went by with nothing from him. Again, I had to send reminder messages to him to actually send the check. I believe he only finally sent it to pacify me & keep me from expressing all my anger & frustration publicly. Needless to say at that point I had no choice but to use the money to pay bills. Later, when in Boston, while out socially with Jerry and a small group of others, he proudly proclaimed that he had helped me out with a financial gift. He said it several times & even asked me in front of the others to admit it was true. So, when he says he helped others not for accolades, I beg to differ.
