I'm loitering outside the Grand Committee Room of the Houses of Parliament, where a debate on "the impact of the collapse of Football Index" will kick off shortly. I'll tweet what's said here... #footballindex
Finally getting around to watching the Ted Lasso finale and this shit pops up on the screen #footballindex
Can never forget. Will never forget. Keep fighting!
That moment when someone on #sorare lists a player for way below what they’re worth, you offer 90% just for the fun of it and they accept instantly and you immediately start doubting yourself.
‘What do they know that I don’t!?!?’

@pdhmobile@FootballIndex Announced a massive dividend cut in March 2021. Turns out the company was in financial trouble for a while.
Player prices crashed as a result. Company had its gambling Licence suspended and went into administration.

My first time putting in writing. £124m lost/stolen by #footballindex and £36,000 of that was mine.
Life hasn’t been the same since. I placed those bets because FI was a regulated gambling company. It became a Ponzi scheme under the watch of the UK Gambling Commission

Good morning,
Following our tweets over the past couple of days and the fantastic response from the Community, we can confirm that the FI scandal is firmly on the radar of the relevant political parties that we were seeking to register it with.

The level of evil in this message remains one of the most sickeningly disgusting I’ve seen. A last gasp attempt to induce users to put money in at a time when the company was on its knees.
The lack of responsibility and level of negligence is mind boggling. Me and the rest of the thousands of users who lost life changing sums of money to this Gambling Commission regulated Ponzi scheme will not stop fighting for justice. @DCMS@NadineDorries@10DowningStreet
All the while the Gambling Commission ignored all the red flags behind the scenes, and when they finally did investigate they allowed FI to keep taking new bets! They even suspended FI’s gambling Licence only after they had crashed their own market!!
@McBrideAce@Football_MDJ@fi_action Got this from them when I inquired about being from Ireland. Currently open to everyone but may change depending on the ‘outcome of the investigation’
