I don't understand why in the first place the BBC allowed him to go on TV. Rastani is an ignorant and does not understand the real implications and consequences of a recession. Everybody in the industry knew he wasn't a trader, unfortunately the general public couldn't tell.

(1) to be a trader (be it sole trader, partnership or other) in the UK one must be authorised by the Financial Services Authority. Rastani is not registered as one, and consequently not authorised, i.e. not a trader. (2) Rastani does not show up in either the Bloomberg or Reuters directory. ANY trader uses either a Bloomberg Terminal or 3000 Xtra. He does not use either. The general public does not have a way of checking these. Bottom line, Rastani is a hoax.
