Quote from Conor Pope

"This interview was carried on the BBC yesterday and in less than 24 hours has been watched by a quarter of a million people. It’s not going to happen, however… And in any event, if this guy is right and the savings of millions of people are set to be wiped out in less than 12 months, it is probably too late to act now. "


Could this happen? Seems a bit over the top?
 
"The depression in the thirties wasn't just about a market crash. Some people were prepared for it and made money from it."

That sounds like a confession by other means, that these things don't just happen.

And if that's true then the corollary is too - that depressions precede wars...

Or it could be that some people saw what was coming , made plans and made money from that?
 
Check out thejournal.ie for more on this, seems the guy could be part of a hoax group called the Yes Men
 
Thanks for the heads up about The Yes Men _ I hadn't been following them.

However in relation to the Trader being one of them this link has this to say -
BBC Trader Interview

It has been suggested by Reuters and Forbes and Twitter speculation that a trader who appeared in an interview for the BBC, Alessio Rastani, was a member of the Yes Men, due to some of the comments he made and his close resemblance to Jude Finisterra, a noted Yes Men member. In the interview he talks about how traders dream of a recession to make money, and that Goldman Sachs rather than governments, ruled the world. According to the BBC the trader was not a hoaxer stating to have independently checked his credentials and made a statement, "He [Rastani] is an independent market trader of a range of voices we've had on air to talk about the recession."[45][46][47]

As this does not appear to be a serious topic, I am closing it.

Feel free to talk about it in Letting off Steam, or even better, on some other website.
