I won't close that until the wire is sent. Just let me know once that's processed and I will close it.

will closing the account without the wire being returned cause any issues?
Can you hold off on closing blueflames until we process the return shortly?

John,
I closed Blueflame Strategies account and noticed that there is also a Redline Strategies account that was opened on March
18 t h with a zero balance. Should I close that account too?
Thank You ,
