World Money Show - a warning

[pboyles]

Vin-X has a stand at the show and their CEO is speaking at the event. Their CEO goes by the name of Peter Shakeshaft, some of you might remember him from a company called Wills and Co which the FSA accused of 'poor sales practices. This includes poor risk warnings and misleading information to its high-risk penny share customers'

Victims were later approached by recovery room scams attempting to extract more money from them.

Shakeshaft? What sort of name is that?

Fortunately its rather unique, which makes him much easier to google.

Shakeshaft: Isn't that what we all do at the end of our bathroom visit?

Hopefully not the girlies amongst us (unless they are in the bathroom accompanied by a consenting male partner of a suitable age to indulge in such things)

There might be an awkward moment if Peter shows up at the T2W stand. I just noticed they are there too!

The general atmosphere at these shows is quite sinister, lots of pushy chavs trying to sign you up for various scams.

I'm sure there's at least one dodgy share advisory service at that show too, there always is, a couple of years ago it was Montague Pittman. I met Mike Baghdady there once too, though it seems he doesn't show up for these things nowadays.

Anybody going by the way? We have the speakers schedule available, maybe you can ask Peter some questions.

You should wear a 'wire' and record these guys making their ridiculous claims. That would provide entertainment for some time and improve viewing numbers on T2W no end. The Leopard might even come back.

I would love to meet up with a few of the gang here and heckle some Vendors

cant make it though ....damn !

oh how I wish Black swan was there,how much fun would that be

 

[pboyles]

I suggest you make your way to booth 504 where the Academy Of Professional Traders will be there to greet you. If you could kindly ask why their secrets cost more than their holy grail I'd be very grateful. I thought the holy grail couldn't be bettered and now I'm confused.

why on earth would anyone want to go to one of these things?

 

[pboyles]

Anyhow back to Vin-X and the previous dealings of Peter Shakeshaft. Seems the company only avoided a £1.5 million fine by closing down.

No reason, other than to ruin some chav's day by asking some awkward questions in front of a lot of people. Same reason you'd go to a Mike Baghdady webinar.
