You won’t find his name anywhere on EmpiresX’s website.

A quick search through YouTube however, returns plenty of videos citing “Joshua Nicholas Gregg” as EmpiresX’s Master Trader.

Supposedly, Gregg, sometimes credited as just Joshua Greg/Gregg or Josh Greg/Gregg, works for Goldman Sachs in New York.

In an EmpiresX webinar held earlier this month, Joshua pulled up the FINRA BrokerCheck page for Joshua Nicholas Gregg:
