Ex-BBC presenter challenges IronFX and lampoons its CEO

By Freddie Rostand, former international BBC TV News and Current Affairs reporter

To give a bit of background, I worked for BBC TV News and Current Affairs for 28 years reporting and producing news and investigative documentaries, winning several awards for my work along the way. During my career, I have covered stories for BBC News from all over the world, including Iraq, Afghanistan, Bosnia, Albania, Kosovo among many others.

In 2009, I left the BBC to start my own film company Rostand Productions, which has flourished ever since, working mostly in the commercial and corporate side of film production. In 2013 I started to learn to trade forex and commodities.

Recognizing that brokers weren’t all as honest as they might be, I split up my funds between a number of brokers. Depositing £500 GBP with IronFX seemed a safe bet, as the company had offices in the City of London, claimed it was FCA Regulated and hit all the right buttons. A year later, after the £500 had become £3500 I tried to withdraw my capital. IronFX refused, and put up obstacle after obstacle in my way” – Freddie Rostand

This prompted me to set up the “Boycott IronFX” Facebook page, and the floodgates opened. With hundreds of victims from all over the world, I soon realised there was a lot more to this than met the eye. Conducting a long investigation into IronFX it became clear is a powerful story of corruption, greed and fraud on a global scale. And it’s still going on. I tracked down former employees who were prepared to blow the whistle on IronFX, disgusted by it’s brazen criminality whilst enjoying protection by Cyprus’ top politicians.

This film is a “desk job” outlining the findings of the investigation. The objective is to produce a 1 hour BBC style documentary exposé of the true story behind IronFX to be shown at documentary festivals all over the world and sold to European and international broadcasters. I am currently trying to raise funds to produce the film and would welcome any assistance however slight to shine a light on the very dark corner within this industry. If you can help you will be credited in the film, and repaid should sales be successful.
