Dr. Dean Handley is so proud of his diplomas and affiliations of the past, but I'm certain this isn't one of them. When working for Sepracor, Dean Handley willfully made false and misleading statements about the results of tests and trial results of a drug called Soltara, which Sepracor was seeking FDA approval. Effectively, Handley was saying the drug was safe from certain harmful side effects when in fact it wasn't. His goal was, in essence, to give credibility to the stock market so Sepracor's stock price would rise, thereby making it easier for the company to raise additional capital from the financial markets.
You can read the story in this legal document below and draw your own conclusions. Note that Dr. Dean Handley and other executives who perpetrated this scheme were fired after this fiasco. I find it very sad that Dr. Dean Handley would put his financial interests in the form of stock options and bonuses ahead of the public's safety. That explains his propensity to defraud the public again with his Trading Titans "pay for play" business model for sleazy trading room vendors who want to get exposure from this so-called international expert.
Reliable sources have informed me the media publication for Dr. Dean Handley's bogus room reviews, Futures Truth Magazine, is no longer going to publish his articles any longer. I, for one, am not surprised but wonder what took them so long to make this decision.
Although not a widely followed magazine, I felt Futures Truth had integrity and believed in accuracy of it's content. All that was put in question when they allowed Dr. Dean Handley to publish. Perhaps they swallowed too much of the Kool aid and hype that Handley propagated with his numerous diplomas. My guess is they learned of his nefarious actions from this thread and decided the taint and guilt by association didn't jive with their long standing principles. Whatever the reason, it's a good thing they pulled the plug. Better late than never as the saying goes.
I communicated with him personally regarding George Mahshigian scams after reading his evaluation and praise for this scammer and was shocked when he claimed that this scammer's strategies are great even though I offered to show him my real money losses!!!!

not bashing but anyone who goes by "Dr." doesn't impress me....what impresses me is someone who never finished high school and worked their way up at the NYMEX or CME as a runner/clerk/trader...from the floor to the desk.
-those guys are a forgotten breed in character, integrity....and fist fights on the floor and train!
In the world of Play for Pay the trader who complains is an anomaly and responsible for his losses because he didn't do things 100% as prescribed the vendor. This is to move the blame from the vendor to the trader. It's an old trick from the scam playbook. As long as the vendors pay Dr. Dean Handley their monthly vigorish, they retain the Titan status regardless of the real time performance, which invariably sucks.
At peak, Handley had 14 paying vendors for his recommendations; now he has 10. Why? Four realized they weren't receiving a positive return in terms of new subscribers from Handley's poor marketing effort, so they dropped out. The reason Dr. Dean Handley states why he deleted those rooms from the list is 100% happy horseshit. The truth is they stopped paying the monthly extortion fee.
Futures Truth may no longer publish DH attacks because they received the depositions and other filings in the lawsuit
that Puretick filed.
Handley did get a law degree, but it was online and he failed the Bar Exam.
Futuers Truth, amazingly they could not figure it out, probably saw the deposition part where Handley announced under oath that he reviewed 900 trading rooms in 5 years.
He stated that he did not have a staff but personally reviewed each room thoroughly.
The lawyer asked if he thought it fair to review a room for a day or two.
Handley boasted that he stayed for 3 months in each room taking each trade.
The lawyer got out his calculator and asked if Handley agreed that it would take over 200 years to review 900 rooms.
LOL
Handley then adjusted his analysis to say he did 4 rooms at once. (To me it would seem hard to take trades if they might be conflicting and how do you listen to 4 room moderators blabbing at once)?
The lawyer said still it would take 50 years. Even Al Gore was not inventing the internet then, haha.
All Handley could say was "Whatever."
Note: I did not read the testimony but a trusted friend who did assured me that the court deposition as recorded by a stenographer was accurate.
Amazing.
My guess is the stress of lawsuits and online bickering was one of the reasons Puretick was taken over by Marketdancer.
In my opinion the best way to make money in the futures market with zero risk is to open a trading room.
On the other hand if you call trades and half a few dozen people watching you fail of succeed would add too much pressure to an already stressful situation.
In my career, I had enough stress with fellow floor traders with bad breath screaming in my ear.
It's not about honestly or integrity, it's about pay for play. In this case Mr. Mahshigian--who has by his own admission blown out scores of live trading accounts--pay's a monthly fee to Dr. Handley for advertising and promotion to rope in novices looking for quick riches. Both are thieves with no moral compass; they live to steal other peoples money with impunity. That's the nicest way I can say it.
The world turns slowly. Futures Truth finally began to publish articles by Alex Wasilewski, the guy Handley tried to bash, and extort money and who was finally destroyed in Federal Court.
Wasilewski, a former award winning NY cop, who was well known for fighting corruption in Suffolk County NY politics, apparently was the only one to stand up to Handley and sued him.
The depositions filed made Handley seem like a buffoon; especially when the lawyer asked Handley how he could spend 3 months each in 997 trading rooms.
He asked "were you in George Washington's S+P alert room?" LOL
What surprised me is that no one could figure that out from the general public. It did not matter about Sepracor or anything else.
