Football Index trader since summer 2017. Looking to share ideas and strategies with the #FIcommunity

@TLRailUK I used contactless so I didn't have a ticket as such - does this change anything? I can obviously evidence the journey using tfl statement in the usual way

[Alex @AlexFIRookie]

I was caught up in the disruption on the St Pancras to St Albans line yesterday afternoon/ evening. After waiting a couple of hours to see if it would be resolved, I instead got a train to Hatfield and got picked up. Do I use the standard delay repay form for this?
@TLRailUK

[Alex @AlexFIRookie]

Hi
@EastMidRailway

I'm waiting on a response to an appeal in relation to a delay repay claim. I have been waiting since 11 July despite your automated email saying I'd get a response within ten working days.

Can you chase this up please?

[Alex @AlexFIRookie]

@OddsJam @AlexMonahan100 hey - I've been arbitrage betting in the UK for a few months and keep getting banned/ limited. It looks like you guys have a lot more success in the US - do you know if it is possible to set up an account with the key US books as a UK resident? Cheers 👍

The #footballindex scandal in 3 minutes!

[Joey D'Urso @josephmdurso]

🚨Exclusive: Football Index co-founder Adam Cole is behind a strikingly similar new football crypto trading website.

He is investor in and advisor to KiX which uses Football Index as 'proof of concept'. It's a "kick in the teeth" for campaigners.

The fight continues, plenty of work always going on. Keep following @Zidave1 who is leading the charge.

It's been three years since #FootballIndex collapsed and its customers lost, in some cases, their life savings. Lots of work still going on to find out exactly what happened to the company behind it, which is still going through liquidation. https://t.co/EpzqS98jIz

The latest example of how the FCA's litany of historic failures and their dishonesty to conceal it, guarantees future failures of the same nature and so on and so on.....

Internal FCA documents prove that the FCA had repeatedly stated that Football Index fell within the FCA's regulatory perimeter. And it did.

HOWEVER, the moment the FCA became aware that it had collapsed with substantial losses and that those previous and repeated positions might expose them, the FCA instructed external lawyers who, lo and behold, produced an opinion that Football Index did not fall within the FCA perimeter.

'The Desired Narrative'.

It is the same FCA pattern of behaviour repeated over and over, and with only the FCA interests and reputations of its employees put front and centre in their thinking and approach.

The consequence of this failure to regulate, and subsequent dishonesty to conceal it, and altering of the FCA perimeter, not only produces no sanctions for those involved and therefore no deterrent, it actually promotes and endorses the 'scheme', or scam, in question and the mechanics of it, encouraging others to do likewise and who can do so safe in the knowledge that they can rely on the 'FCA Precedent' they have set by this failure to act previously and their re-defining of the perimeter to escape culpability.

Same with Blackmore Bond, IRHP's, FX, Pension scams and their failure to protect and their abuse of whistleblowers and because, more often than not, inadvertently report conduct that exposes the FCA as much as it does their employer.....

Lather, rinse, repeat....

@Zidave1 We really appreciate all of your hard work on this mate. Keep fighting the good fight. Thank you 👍

[Ellie Pitt @ElliePittTV]

Tracked down Mike Bohan, CEO of Football Index when it went bust with £124m of customers’ money in open bets. They’re still waiting for answers about what happened. Full story here: https://t.co/EpzqS9pUA7

The Football Index Scandal: how thousands of customers lost their life savings.

Thank you to the brave FI users who shared their experiences with me. I know it wasn’t easy to relive that time.

Here’s a link to my ITV National News investigation:

[ZiDave FI @Zidave1]

It has been a pleasure to work with @ElliePittTV & @itvnews the last 6 months to get the coverage on #footballindex that victims deserve. So difficult to get the story across in a 15 minute feature but Ellie did amazingly well to get the message across. The amount of work

[Alex @AlexFIRookie]

@Zidave1 @spfootballindex Thanks for all your work on this. We really appreciate it @fi_action

[ZiDave FI @Zidave1]

Loads going on behind the scenes with #footballindex with @fi_action - we had an update call with Begbies who will be preparing for the final court case to determine how the stake money (the pittance that is left) will be distributed. Whilst it is a court decision the creditor

[Alex @AlexFIRookie]

@footyindexnow1 Are there any resources you'd recommend for learning more about staking? Cheers

[Alex @AlexFIRookie]

@LFCJFT97 @halsluvr He's a thief who was foolish enough to give me his full name and bank details, which will make him quite easy to trace... Bangs on about "justice" and at the same time he's ripping people off.

[Alex @AlexFIRookie]

@LFCJFT97 @halsluvr Don't give him any money. The moment you transfer he'll start ignoring you. He's a thief.

The collapse of the Football Index has left thousands financially ruined and led to families being torn apart and lives being lost.

Customers - including my constituents - were failed miserably by the Gambling Commission.

Here's an extract of my contribution to today's debate:
