This is the story that put many of us off our breakfasts this morning:
And it turns out to have been a hoax. Jim Rogers has denied ever suggesting that the pound is about to go into an irrevocable meltdown, and described the whole affair as "outrageous". However, Citywire spoke to Rogers' longtime friend, Vince Stanzione, who says the quotes are legitimate. The latest - it seems - is here, where it appears Stanzione himself is responsible for the leaked quotes. Apparently, there was a "mix-up" and quotes attributable to Stanzione were attributed to Rogers. If I was Stanzione I would be a little upset that this is enough for a collective sigh of relief. Do his opinions not count, or something?
