Yes, it's referenced on Twitter (Search 'Yes Men') seems they might be behind some misinformation today from the Labour Conference too.

He didn't appear to be very convincing as an "expert" at all. It was all very Hollywood from the get go.

I've split this topic so it's easier to find as I suspect it's of interest to a number of members. And yes it does look to me like the same chap who did it last time.

Cannot believe this hasn't been talked about more on here. Allesio Rastani has been trending on twitter today and yesterday with Robert Peston looking like a fool by remarking on his twitter what an insight and valid view this was by a city trader. Turns out he's business is in debt and his wife owns their 200,000 house. Best thing to come out of this is Peston's comments are highly embarrassing.
