Curtis Faith: Firm Permanently Barred by U.S. Government

Curtis Faith: Failed Turtle

Multiple government documents, a Faith family member, other Turtles, performance records, direct interviews with Faith's former business associates, a former employee and Faith's own words show him to be something different than he represents.

For example, the following two depositions describe how Curtis Faith's firm Acceleration Capital imploded: Deposition One and Deposition Two. Curtis Faith's then partner Plyam explains how he and Faith met, what type of trading system they used, the ownership breakdown of Acceleration Capital, Faith's background, the management fees, how much they put up to start Acceleration Capital and Faith's subsequent disappearance. Perhaps most alarming, a male employee was stealing money from Acceleration Capital to buy trips, buy cars, to pay for a gastric bypass surgery, to buy gifts for his boyfriend and to buy barbie dolls on eBay (Many files obtained through the U.S. Freedom of Information requests).

Acceleration Capital permanently surrendered registration with the CFTC via settlement in January 2007 for what the CFTC believed were violations of the Commodity Exchange Act (The only objective accounting regarding Curtis Faith is found in "The Complete TurtleTrader").
