A baffling distinction. But then it does come from a reruitment agency. They are spawn of the devil IMO. I was lucky to find 2 really, really good ones in 20 years in IT. The rest are grasping halfwits.

I have been rooting around Twitter to find out who this BBC Fiend is, I don't like that my curiosity led me to do this. :cry:

On twitter I stumbled on a tweet saying that the Sun's page 3 girls used to be as young as 16. :o If true that shows just how attitudes change over time.

I was thinking of putting my money down but decided it wouldn't be fair or appropriate to name somebody whose odds against being the culprit.

Just as well, a lawyer on Sky said you could be sued for defamation for merely suggesting that an innocent man may be capable of such behaviour. :lol:

No formal complaint to the police I believe and scant information, other than anecdotal, by the sound of it.
If the guy gets named and it proves groundless The Sun can expect a hefty law suit.

The Sun are the biggest hypocrites going! It was them who did a countdown to Emma Watson and Charlotte Churches 16th birthdays. 16th. All that outage hides a creepy interest in that sort of thing.

Free Chrome extension Adblock Plus works wonders with ads especially on YT - does stop some popups working for real sites you want things to popup on eg some online support chats but I just switch to standard Firefox for those.

I attended a seminar run by him in London.

He wanted me to handover £6,500 per year for the software plus £350 per month for continued access plus £1500 per day for one to one support.

I guess that's how he can afford private jets and houses on the Thames.

Now he has a so called AI version of the software which made him £200,000 in 4 hours on GPBUSD. But anyone in the know knows he opened his position using 200 lot size.

If anyone is thinking of attending a seminar run by him, anyone else or buying the software then I would suggest you go and buy 10,000 lucky dips on the lottery.

It reminded me of being back in the late 80s early 90s with all those hard sell property timeshares, most of which ended in tears for the elderly who were conned.

I am surprised he hasn't been investigated by the FSA, Police and YT.

ABP is great, zero no bullshit ads. I use the Firefox version.

But the ads you get depend on the content you view. I never look at anything trading or betting related on YT unless I'm logged out. The worst I get is the occassional mid-vid advert for Remitly.

Not sure who's worse, him or the mugs who think they can make easy money and fall for it.. People like this guy only exist because people are unrealistic, lazy and greedy and think everyone else must be stupid for being broke. This guy is just chlorine in the gene pool.
