People talk about misinformation on Facebook, but the British media are guilty of promoting criminals and fraudsters via news stories about their "success".

For example, my local newspaper published a number of articles about a "successful" trader who was offering training programmes. Last month he was sentenced to three years in prison for fraud.

There are numerous examples of this and even "reality" TV shows promoting these people as successful or rich, it is about time the media are held to account.

Stories of success are meaningless if you don't know how many people failed... If you listen to lottery winners, investing in lottery tickets is the best way to earn money,... somehow noone makes documentaries about millions of people who buy tickets and get nothing.

This isn't even a story of success though. What due diligence did the BBC do to ensure he actually made that money and that he was using the methods claimed?

There are lots of people in social media who pose in front of expensive cars and with designer bag in order to sell their crypto or forex trading training courses. Most of course don't make their money from trading, but from commissions paid by platforms for winding in suckers.
