The article says:
In the interview Mr Rastani described himself as an independent trader. Elsewhere he claims he's an "investment speaker". Instead of operating from a plush office in Canary Wharf Mr Rastani works and lives with his partner Anita Eader in a £200,000 semi in Bexleyheath, south London. The house, complete with a mortgage from Royal Bank of Scotland, belongs to her not him.
But on Tuesday night the BBC was left facing questions about just how qualified Mr Rastani is to speak about the markets.
Its most recent accounts show cash in t he bank of £985. After four years trading net assets are £10,048 - in the red.
How a man who has never been authorised by the Financial Services Authority and has no discernible history working for a City institution ended up being interviewed by the BBC remains a mystery.
The incongruity led to some commentators speculating Mr Rastani was a professional hoaxer. The BBC denied the allegation: "We've carried out detailed investigations and can't find any evidence to suggest that the interview with Alessio Rastani was a hoax."
However, the BBC declined to comment on what checks, if any, it had done prior to the interview.
Mr Rastani was a little more forthcoming.
"They approached me," he told The Telegraph. "I'm an attention seeker. That is the main reason I speak. That is the reason I agreed to go on the BBC. Trading is a like a hobby. It is not a business. I am a talker. I talk a lot. I love the whole idea of public speaking."
So he's more of a talker than a trader. A man who doesn't own the house he lives in, but can sum up the financial crisis in just three minutes – a knack that escapes many financial commentators.
"I agreed to go on because I'm attention seeker," he said on Tuesday. "But I meant every word I said."
And that is the end of the article.

Ok, so, we can rest, there is no motive for alarm, all is fine and it will be fine. Things will be sorted out and everything will go back to normal.
Or is it?
No - things are not okay, and even though Alessio is not a professional financial commentator he said some things that are spot on and that are worth looking into - so, please listen...
He said in his original BBC interview that "Markets are ruled right now by fear"
Very true, but not entirely correct because the whole world is run by fear. The whole economic system is run by fear. We, as human, are running on fear -- of each other, of the future, of god... Of ourselves...
This whole economic system is running thanks to fear of survival... Which is a system of profit: which is a PRO-FIT system, a system PRO survival of the FITtest because we are running on fear of death, which is fear of debt. Within it we are all trying to WIN, which is the darWINina theory of survival of the fittest - which even God prescribes to because he created heaven - which is profit / fiscal paradise - and hell - which is debt/dead/death.
More...
Alessio went on saying:
"Investors and ... The big money, the smart money - I am talking about the big funds, the hedge funds, the institutions - they don't buy this rescue plan.
They basically... They know the market is toast."
What is he saying here? He is saying that the whole economic system is fucked and that those in control of it know it and they also know that there is nothing that will save this system - or they can't see a way ... Because there is no way to actually make sure everyone is a winner in this economic system, because for profit to exist, debt must exist. Debt is created out of profit and vice versa -- this is basic maths. You check it out... If I sell you something and I am making a profit on it means that you will pay more that what it really is worth and as such you are accumulating debt because you bought something that is worth less that what you paid for, therefore my profit is your loss. When we are sorry for someone's loss it means that we are sorry someone is dead -- someone is in debt.
Not everyone can be a winner, because for a winner to exist, one or more must lose. That is why the majority of wealth in this world is in the hands of a few and the whole world is in debt and it keeps on increasing.

Alessio kept on going saying:
"Personally, it doesn't matter... I am a trader, I don't really care about that kind of stuff. I go with... If I see an opportunity to make money I go with that. And so, for most traders its not about... We don't really care that much how they're gona fix the economy, how they're gona fix the whole situation... Our job is to make money from it, and personally I have been dreaming of this moment for three years.(...) I go to bed every night and I dream of another recession."
Perfect - here we have summed up virtually how everyone in this world is actually living their lives: Everyone is just busy dreaming about becoming a star, being famous, being rich, making money to buy all the bullshit products that capitalism created... Everyone is just busy dreaming about their own holidays, which are the Holy-Days that resulted from Winning in this monopoly of fear of survival. Everyone is drinking away their booze and whiskey, smoking their cigarettes and getting high, high as a cloud, trying to reach the fiscal heaven/paradise. Everyone is finding all the excuses not to actually take some responsibility and find a proper solution for this shithole that we created for ourselves. Everyone is blaming everyone and everyone is saying "what can I do? I am powerless to change anything", when in fact you are the one who has been powerful enough to keep this shit system running...
And obviously that those with the "big money" - those that have the big power, those that have hit the jack pot and are high of their tits with god by their side - are not doing anything to make a difference... These are the worst kind - all the greedy fuckers, the greedy millionaires and billionaires that justify their position in all ways possible and that are not making sure everyone has the same opportunity to have a life free from the prison that money is.
There is no recession - this is a fucking depression! Because the majority of the population is depressed because they have been pressed down by this ism that is the Capital...
And as such we go to bed and we dream about an opportunity to make it big and get to the top, to the holy wood that is Hollywood where one is a star and all dreams come true...
How fucked up are we? Seriously....
He kept on going saying:
"This is not the time right now tor wishful thinking: "the government is gona sort things out"... The governments does not rule the world, Goldman Sacks rules the world.
Goldman sacks does not care about this rescue package neither does the big funds."
Yes, governments only govern those that are in government... And what governs the world is money - is the man that sacked everything from this earth and turned it into gold, into money - and now everything has got a price tag...
And even though everything has been made about money, the fucked up thing is that there is not enough money to keep the system itself going... And people are suffering and many more will suffer unnecessarily... We have all the air, the food, the water, the energy, the technology and the know how to make this world an amazing place but, for some fucked up reasons called Ego and god and greed and competition and money that has actually no value at all , we are still allowing ourselves to be slaves of the belief that gold and resources are valuable when in fact, without the human life, everything is just pointless --- what I am saying is that the real value on this earth is LIFE and as such it is LIFE that must be valued...
Last but not least, Alessis said what epitomizes this whole interview:
"I want to help people"
See, we humans are fucking snakes that talk with a forked tongue... On one had we "dream about recession" - meaning, we dream about "the American dream", we dream about winning at all cost - while we say that "we want to help people, we must help each other..." we should give more money to charity and all that shit... Help the wakes, save the dolphins and the cats and dogs... Save the children... But first let me make some millions...
Seriously, how fucked up is this... How fucked up are we...
Probably 99% of the human population would deem itself as "good" but we do not do anything about it... It is just a talk... The walk is exactly the opposite...
Do you deem yourself as a good person?
Do you really want a better world?
Are you willing to give to others what you want to receive?
Are you willing to make sure everyone is always a winner by simply making sure everyone is EQUALY valued?
Are you willing to value your life equal to mine and equal to your parents' life and equal to everyone else's life on this earth?
If so, realize that you will have to change, realize that you will actually have to DO SOMETHING and you will actually have to properly investigate and find solutions that take into consideration everyone!
If not, realize that you will be responsible for keeping this bullshit system which ALWAYS implies war, and as such, you and all of those that do keep on denying the simplicity of equality as the solution to this mess, will be the ones responsible for one more war at the world scale - because that is what happens - history proves so..
So, where do you stand?
