The Sheehan Report into #footballindex is actually a really useful & critical account of the regulatory failure. The weaknesses were the terms of reference (deliberate) and the deadline for completion.@TheFCA used it to defend my 2022 complaint in August 2023
The Sheehan Report into #footballindex confirmed that FCA raised that sports spread betting is within the FCA's perimeter. This was completed in July or August 2021.
6 years ago yesterday #footballindex instant sell was switched off. 40% of sells used it. The algorithm was set so that spreads would widen to prevent a mass sell-off. It was vital for the platform. So why was that decision made? Commissions and Confidence evaporated. Fatal!
Any of my followers tax advisors? Or Lawyers linked to tax advice? Or know anyone? Brain working overtime today and I have thought of something that I would like to get more info on.
We have arranged a liquidation committee meeting with Begbies for Wednesday morning. I will provide an update that evening although there may be confidential info I can't share re #footballindex
Where is our £100m + @lisanandy@fionatwycross#footballindex victims harmed badly and you won't even meet me to discuss. Always money available to stop justice for hard working tax paying constituents!
@BetGameCouncil Lots of peoples lives ruined by #footballindex which was regulated by @GamRegGB and was a paid up member of yours. Got anything to say about that?
Just to follow on from my posts yesterday there are still plenty of other avenues being explored other than legal action. Legally we are right but that doesn't mean it's clear cut. This type of legal action is hugely expensive (could be £millions) which we wouldn't be able to do.
Had a busy couple of weeks trying to complete my research into #footballindex although GC keep declining FOI on Index Labs application so clearly hiding something. However what GC did get right, eventually, was the definition of the #footballindex product, their KC gave opinion..
