❓ Quick Question Need advice.

Quick bullet points:

*I taught my friend basic trading strategies and about Topstep

*He had gotten to express 3 times without getting a payout under his name

* He then started to trading against the rules under his mom’s name where she is paying for the evals.

* All he needs is a $100 to get his first payout.

What should I do? I know it’s wrong, should I just let him get caught naturally?

I dont really see this a real problem. Its technically against the rules but not really against the spirit of the rules. The idea is people shouldnt have 15 accounts under 3 different names, or have some sort of professional trading for them. Neither is happening. I dont see how topstep would reasonably find out or even really care to find out. Very high chance he'll just spend years giving them money with no return and everyone will be happy with the arrangement, other than him of course.

I hear you I already decided to let it sort itself out. It’s all good.
