Football Index: The £90m Football Scam.
[THREAD🧶]
Football Index launched in 2015 and was advertised as a “virtual stock market for football”. Where fans could make money buying and selling player shares. But 6 years later, their customers lost everything. So, what happened?
Good morning,
In relation to the Leigh Day client email last night, this was covered in our end of year update. Once again: Begbies Traynor took over the investigation of claims against the Directors of BetIndex many months ago as they are better positioned with greater powers.
On behalf of @fi_action and I a big thank you to @LeighDay_Law for everything they have done over the last (nearly) 2 years. It is not their job to prosecute the Directors (unfortunately) but to assess the likelihood of a claim to recover assets from Directors to attempt to repay
Please do not be worried about the Leigh Day email as @fi_action and I are aware that Leigh Day cannot duplicate what Begbies and FI Action are doing. I've not seen the links but there are complaint letters attached which I will tweet about next week about #footballindex
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
Really powerful and important in-depth piece on @itvnews on the Football Index scandal.
It highlight’s the need for the UK Gov to bring forward the long overdue Gambling White Paper to ensure that this never happens again, and victims will have a voice in future!
HOT OFF THE PRESS! I have just been told by @ElliePittTV that ITN at 7pm tonight are showing the feature on #footballindex on the main news tonight that we have been working on! Please watch, share, retweet and tag. Let's get as many tweets as possible!!
On 9th March 2021 @GamRegGB email stated that "the #footballindex business model relies on bringing new customers and churn of monies into the platform" but it wasn't a ponzi?!?!
