Sure, the whole process only took me 45 minutes to set up a new script and manually transfer the trades, but honestly - why should I have had to do that? I did not know I was using a stolen script at the time, I was an innocent victim.

The chicken crew did not punish the CJO people in that case, they punished me. How hard would it be for them to make a script to make it easier for people to migrate away from cjo, since it's so important to them? Not too hard, but their attitude is "fuck you if you didn't know, too bad". I find that kind of attitude deplorable, and I will refuse to do business with anyone who fucks innocent victims.

While I feel for you and I totally understand your position, you should also be aware that not knowing the law isn't an excuse for breaking it. CJO is a blatant rip-off of TTT and while it's proved to be extremely difficult to LEGALLY do something about it (as with 90% of the rip-offs in this industry) that still doesn't mean that people should be encouraged to use it.
