Another day, another consignment retailer closes down.
After reporting yesterday that popular promotion company The Funded Trader has (presumably temporarily) ceased operations, another company – Skilled Funded Traders – has also taken down its website (skilledfundedtraders.com), replacing the message:
We regret to inform you that Skilled Funded Traders has temporarily suspended all activities, including new markets, effective immediately.
We appreciate your patience and understanding during this time.
Over the coming week, we will continue with details on each of your individual circumstances as we explore alternatives for resuming operations.
Thank you for your continued support and loyalty.
It appears that The Funded Trader and Skilled Funded Traders are both affiliated with a group called Easton Consulting Technologies, out of Miami, Florida. Easton’s website (at eastontech.net) describes itself as a world class launch and scale “Assessment Companies”.
It is unclear whether Easton owns and operates both brands (and possibly others in the bracket space) or simply provides technology and expertise as a bracket solutions company. Easton Consulting CEO Carlos Rico-Ospina also lists him (on his LinkedIn page) as CFO at The Funded Trader from 2021.
