The prop trading scene was already on edge — and now it’s boiling.
It all started when Andrew NFX posted a supposedly motivational tweet:
“You need to lock in because your wife cannot work a single day in her life.”
The tweet gained over 16,000 views, but not everyone was inspired.
Shortly after, @rotrade93 (SupplyAndDemandLab) fired back:
“This guy literally scammed hundreds of traders with his prop firm and now he is posing himself as an honest person. Disgusting.
The trading space needs to get rid of this type of guru traders.
If you cannot help others, at least don’t scam them.”
That was just the beginning. More traders jumped in:
- @_sss___16: “Why are all scammers talking like they’re life mentors? They’re just the biggest scum in the industry.”
- @currencygoat: “He used his payout record to start a prop firm and rugpulled traders like nothing ever happened. God will punish him for sure.”
- @oghardypk: “Don’t forget @Greckothe1 — same scammer energy.”
The replies kept coming — calling out fake personas, staged payouts, and the recycled influencer playbook that’s fooled too many for too long.
PropInsider Take:
The trading space is waking up — and traders are no longer clapping for empty motivational posts from people with shady pasts.
If you’re launching a prop firm today, know this: transparency is currency.
No more second chances for serial rug-pullers dressed up as mindset coaches.
