    Boiler Room Scams

    Yeah, well I don't think I'm the one who has acquired a reputation for being nasty, rude and hostile. I'm no celebrity on this forum, but I'm certainly not known as an asshole. You were incredibly rude to me after I offered you some advice, that shows the sort of person you are; you're the...

    It did do it. Anyway, for all I care, he can name them and risk losing the rest of his money if they sue him for defamation, won't take long if he has to cover a massive award of damages and the cost of their £500 an hour barristers.

    You said, "Shut the **** up you prick" to me after I advised you to avoid naming people too hastily. Anyway, you're an abrasive, unpleasant individual and I hope you don't get your money back.

    Maybe you'd like to apologise for being so rude to me when I tried to help you then?

    Boiler Room Scams

    What on earth are you on about? If you were not actually prosecuted you can't sue for malicious prosecution.

    Boiler Room Scams

    I don't know what I did to upset him, all I said was that his comparison between what a boiler room con artist does and what a child abuser does was incorrect. I didn't trivialise what has happened to victims of boiler rooms. :rolleyes:

    Boiler Room Scams

    Me sounding off? You called me immature, after I had tried to give you some friendly advice. I tried to explain to you that your project could lead you into legal trouble, you seem to think they won't sue, fine, but you're taking a risk. Most people on this forum are not victims of boiler room...

    Boiler Room Scams

    Thinking someone is just going to give you an opportunity to make a massive return when there is no prior relationship between the two of you, someone you've never actually met in person, someone who isn't FSA registered......what sort of thinking is that?

    Why have betfair shares just gone up about 4%?

    Well, because more people were willing to buy them at a higher price than were willing to sell them at a lower price. This also explains why the are drifting back down. Anyway, couldn't 4% be down to a couple of big orders, I can't imagine Betfair shares are traded a lot?

    What really annoys you ?

    People who slurp their drinks. People who slurp their drinks and then use the drink being hot as an excuse (wait for it to cool you effin pig). People who drive leased cars and think they're rich or cool :lol: If you didn't buy something outright you don't really own it. People who are uptight...

    Boiler Room Scams

    OK, well don't say you weren't warned. You don't need to do much, as a claimant, to win a defamation suit, and you are planning to defame these people. I'm just saying that it's advisable to make sure you can prove the truth of every assertion you make about people. Of course, this assumes that...

    Boiler Room Scams

    I'm not sure, I know that Panama is known for its bank secrecy, and Switzerland (although increasingly less so), Luxembourg and Liechtenstein (their foundations are supposedly impenetrable) but things change and there certainly has been pressure brought to bear on these places. What I was...

    Boiler Room Scams

    I don't know how people send money to these guys, but I'm assuming it is done from one account to another, rather than say through Western Union (if someone actually sent cash then they probably never will recover it). If the money has been sent from the victim's account, presumably at an...

    Boiler Room Scams

    If your money is out there then theoretically it is out there to be taken back. Assuming you know who took it.

    Boiler Room Scams

    Good luck with the book mate, but consult a good defamation solicitor before you go to print. I've just been revising defamation for my upcoming exams, and the English law on defamation is, as you will probably know, very, very claimant friendly. If you are found guilty of just one of the many...
