‘Dream recession’ comment sparks row

THE internet was abuzz with rumours yesterday after a self-styled trader told BBC TV viewers that bankers were “dreaming of another recession” so they can make more money.

Alessio Rastani’s frank admission left the anchors stunned, as he claimed the eurozone market would crash and the economic problems were “like a cancer”.

But claims later surfaced that the interviewee was a hoaxer who managed to dupe the news channel.
