"He said: “I want to stay on my own. I’ve had to deal with a bit of arrogance from financial veterans of 20 years at business meetings.

“They can be rude because I’m way younger than they are but my success speaks for itself: they’re not coming close to my kind of money.”"
He set everything up in a month and a half...

Me and my colleague created a bespoke TRS/Funding trade platform with associated legal affirmation documents, we had at one stage 8 people working for us on it, that took 18 months to complete... I doubt very much he set up his 'trading software' in 6 weeks including everything else as it would need to do a lot of the work we did and we have over 25 years experience between us working in Financial Services.

Sounds more like a healthy dose of cynicism to me.

Wonder if this guy will end up looking for a replica R8 instead http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&f=23&t=1466344&mid=128362&i=220&nmt=Black+Box+Insurance+For+A+Supercar%3F&mid=128362
Seem to be a lot of these Forex traders popping up at the moment, the only ones I've seen that have made a decent amount of money are the ones selling so called training

£2k to £21m in a year is theoretically plausible, but the level of leverage and exposure required would pretty much guarantee you being wiped out way, way before then. I'd go as far to say there's more chance of just winning £21m on the lottery

A link from the comments...

I don't get it, a forum dedicated to fake Ferraris. I think some of them actually believe they own a real one!

I will never be able to afford a real one, but you need you head checked out if you want a fake one. Other than to blow it up for YouTube views!

It's mildly amusing how some of the chaps talk about how they only take the 406 with a bodykit out in good weather as they don't want it to get wet/dirty. That said how many of us with cars that we treat as special would get mocked by the majority who don't care for their car in the slightest.....

If I ever swap a Corvette for a fake Ferrari ,you have my permission to section me.

He's a fantasist and the journalist who wrote the piece is a gullible idiot.

That's all you need to know really.
