          It's just you. With the amount of volatility going on I'd be quite terrified of losing a lot of money very quickly...

            How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

              Yeah, with "proper" spread betting that could happen quickly! I used to have an account with a firm called Binary Bet who do some kind of bastardised version thereof - but haven't been on it for years now....might have another look at some point and see if I can make it a plan B.

                The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

                But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”
