Fair question. Three things stop us:
1. Structure & incentives – We’re a lending platform, not a trading desk. Our returns come from loan performance, not from directional bets. Front-running users would destroy the core business.
2. Regulatory constraints – As a broker/lending intermediary, we’re required to act as a neutral counterparty facilitator. Trading against or ahead of customers would be illegal and career-ending.
3. Practical reality – Users bring their own research, models, and theses. We don’t have visibility into some secret alpha we could systematically exploit, and even if we did, copying it would nuke trust instantly.
If we ever front-ran even one customer, word would spread and the company would be dead. Our entire business depends on being a neutral capital provider, not a competitor.

As I see it your business model is so well suited to scamming, and this is so obvious, that anyone operating it legitimately will need to do better to distinguish themselves than "Trust us". But I could be wrong. I mean hey, online poker! Good luck!
