    From dailymail.co.uk

    A self-proclaimed City whizzkid who spent more than £200,000 on Britain’s most expensive round of drinks has been criticised by his unemployed mother over his apparent night of excess. Alex Hope, 23, who claims he has earned a fortune by trading foreign currencies, is said to have forked out £125,000 on a single bottle of champagne along with £60,408 on other beverages and a £18, 540 tip. But his mother Tina Hope, 53, who lives in a three-bedroom terrace house in Deptford, south-east London, is shocked he could blow so much money at a time while millions of people are struggling to survive. The 53-year-old, ... (full story)

Though I don't believe in splashing money for no reason, I do agree that if you are able to make it you surely wouldn't and shouldn't mind spending it...

Though I am sure there are better causes in world to put money into.

Agree with that..
We don't know what else he is doing with his money...surely this was not all he has, he may very well be doing something more charitable with it as well and it's just not being reported. Bottom line....it's his, he earned it presumably in a way we all are trying to ear ours, and that's his right. I know after fighting with charts, fundamentals, and fibs, I'd like to go blow a few... Just not 300,000 lol
I bet his hookers think he is charitable!
just another PR stunt..clever though they fooled all you

First, dancers are not hookers.
Second, he bought drinks for everyone. Seems fairly charitable to me.
Third, the guy's 23 YO. He should be able to have some fun without being judged.
Sounds very generous. Good tipper...
Gone to a better place

You're such a liar. James 16 would never dream of taking risks like that and would never receive returns enough to buy $200k champagne.

He's got a pact with the 666 to spend the money won with the help of "HIM"
U know what I mean!
lol I know who this guy is,
I'm not gonna expose him all I'm gonna say that this is a PR stunt. I know where he used to work aswell.

Not surprised. FX market was extremely active right before the Financial Crisis. You can make $10K easy a day if you are on the right side of the market and trade well. Plus he's in London so he gets to trade in the most active London market and is not subject to those maximum leverage cap shit by the CFTC.

He was just at the right place at the right time.

if u are 23 if you have enough to splash 200K what will u most probably do? i will do almost the same to tell my gees that i am around
Good one. Who said after all that stress on the monitor I shouldn't party. My hero!~

It all depends on person's culture.

I personally know Alex, he is really good guy and he has good reason to blow it. He started trading forex and metals 5 years ago with almost no knowledge. Now his is on top. Let him be and work on your self.
Sounds like my kind of party, well done, he earned it, so he deserves to spend it, I think he's got the right idea, and who says that money isn't going to those whom need it?!
mate good on you! you made it you spend it any way you want
Sounds like a good time!

The story said he doubled his account in his first day, so his risk is high, but he obviously ran that past 200k, so he definitely has skill. You can't trade that agressively with out blowing out your account unless you actually know what you are doing.

if i had that kind of money when i was 23 i would surely be dead by now. ahhhh 23....young dumb and full of cum! (looking to unload it)
I loled at this:

"He was there with about 10 friends on a private table but after the big bottle came in they were mobbed with gorgeous girls."

That's life guys...
