@Zidave1 @mattzarb You should apply for the role Dave 😅

Interesting! @mattzarb

Join us next week for an important event unpacking one of the UK’s most shocking financial scandals in recent years, entitled: "The Football Index Scandal" 📅Tuesday 22nd April 🕔6pm - 7:30pm BST 📍Zoom ⚽️Launched in 2015, Football Index marketed itself as a football “stock market” where users could buy shares in players and earn dividends based on media hype and match performance. To many, it looked like a new fintech success story. In reality, it was built on regulatory confusion and dangerous promises of guaranteed returns. ⚽️Despite its investment-style model, Football Index was licensed by the Gambling Commission - not the Financial Conduct Authority. As both regulators pointed fingers at each other, the platform collapsed in March 2021, taking hundreds of millions in customer funds with it. To this day, no regulator has accepted responsibility. No victims have been compensated. 🔗Click this link for full details and to book you free place: transparencytaskforce.org/the-football-i… Please share widely - the more people understand this failure, the stronger the push for real accountability!

Bit more of an update on our plans regarding #footballindex

Catch me at 9.10am this morning (I am full of cold however) with @SoniaPoulton discussing #footballindex and the FRCC report regarding @TheFCA youtube.com/live/Q72TdD2-r…

#footballindex broken down into numbers. £124,254,610 stolen. Index linked that is £162,480,433. FCA fines since 2019 £1,479bn. So redress would cost less than 11% of fines raised since FCA should have taken action. Govt spending this year £1,226trn or £139m per hour.

My immediate thoughts on the conclusion of the complaint process and the response from FRCC regarding #footballindex.

@Westy_FTI @fi_action Someone from my constituency has been in touch - I am meeting him on Friday to discuss this scandal. I will report back!

Odd to see the Gambling Commission hyperactively engaged in MP betting cases, some which seem a bit tenuous. I've contacted them dozens of times reporting stories like this one, and the Football Index scandal, and never found a public body to be less helpful or interested.

🆕 #footballindex news 🎇 ➡️🧑‍⚖️Judge has ordered disclosure of all DCMS private emails with Sheehan QC relating to report into regulation of BetIndex ➡️⚖️Judge found public interest favoured disclosure of this information, believing FI users were entitled to see it 1/4

This is what a proper MP does - stands up for their constituents. If only there were more like @LizTwistMP. Unfortunately, my pathetic excuse of an MP, @GarethDavies_MP, has never shown any care on the #footballindex scandal whatsoever.

For over 2 years now I have said to @Royston_Smith @StuartAndrew @GamRegGB @TheFCA @DCMS I am not here to waste anyone's time least of all my own. I have plenty of other things to do. All I need is a meeting where it is explained to me and @fi_action why #footballindex was...

This audio clip from Andrew Rhodes and Helen Venn is just over 4 minutes long. I lost count of the number of lies that are made during this segment of the meeting with @fi_action regarding #footballindex - can my followers please listen and list below! youtu.be/H-B_uqDp2aM

🚨Exclusive: Football Index co-founder Adam Cole is behind a strikingly similar new football crypto trading website. He is investor in and advisor to KiX which uses Football Index as 'proof of concept'. It's a "kick in the teeth" for campaigners. thetimes.co.uk/sport/football…

**NEW SCAM SITE** BY Abdullah Suleyman (former Football index "head of trading") Kix football have already blocked most of the ex FI users already. Obviously don't want us seeing or saying anything. Guess he doesn't know us very well 😂 @Zidave1 Share this about #kixfootball

Great start guys 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 keep them coming. Let's get this scam site down 👎🏽👎🏽 Scamadvisor.com (Kix.digital) @GamRegGB #footballindex
