Trader behind viral video is outed by the Telegraph

The Telegraph reported that Alessio Rastani, whose appearance on BBC went viral, is an independent trader of limited means.

“. . . Mr Rastani works and lives with his partner Anita Eader in a £200,000 semi in Bexleyheath, south London. The house, complete with a mortgage from Royal Bank of Scotland, belongs to her not him,” writes the Telegraph. The newspaper also finds that Rastani’s net trading assets are in the red.

Rastani appeared on BBC and gave a riveting account of the peril that the world markets find themselves in.

“This economic crisis is like a cancer. If you just wait and wait and think this is going to go away, just like a cancer, it is going to grow, and it is going to be too late,” said Rastani.
