    I wonder if he is legally forbidden to trade? After all it looks like the whole process is going to take years (I am guessing 2 years more as a minimum), so since his money is tied up, he needs to have funds for lawyers and living. If he can't trade personally, a foreigner with funds could still hire him as an advisor and do the spoofing, I mean high frequency trading. Somebody from Russia or China. At this point, he has almost nothing to lose....Except the mortgage bond of his parents' house.

    The way I see it he has 2 choices:

    1. After 2+ years (while nobody would employ him for a decent job in the UK) finally losing the extradition and getting at least 10+ years in the US. All his money is taken away.

    2. Moving to a time zone a few hours to the East and getting hired as an advisor to a foreign HF. Pay off parents' debt. Get married. Live happily ever after.

    I think he's allowed to withdraw from the frozen funds his legal expenses (or I may be mistaking with King Dotcom's case)

    Futex is understood to have called in administrators last month after the action taken by Gabriele Gandini, an algorithmic trader who told the firm that he wanted to leave.

    The City of London-based business came to prominence last year after it was revealed as the place where Mr Sarao learned to

    Most will agree with you but they will also agree that he instigated it with his incessant bickering to SEC...

  10. I wonder who counseled the future PM with the advice to take that action.....
    wow, that's the "big one" !!!
    This is so complex that he had to get some advice from someone.
