Deep dives
YouTube influencer allegedly defrauding people through investment advice
In this episode, we learn about Sebi's investigation into a YouTube influencer named Muhammad Nasruddin Ansari, aka Bapafchat or BOC, who was allegedly defrauding people by posing as an investment advisor. Sebi found that BOC and his firm made 17 crore rupees by selling courses and providing buy and sell recommendations in a private group. Moreover, BOC promised guaranteed returns, which is a violation of Sebi's rules. As a result, Sebi has asked BOC to repay the 17 crore rupees and suspended them from trading activity.
Why people fall for fee-based advice without a license
Despite research showing that 9 out of 10 traders in the F&O market lose money, people still fall for fee-based advice without a license. The allure of quick money is hard to resist, with the potential for high profits through options trading. Influencers claiming short-shot profits exploit this desire, offering strategies that promise more profit than one's salary. Some brokers, like Ziroda, have attempted to address this issue by introducing verified profit and loss (P&L) statements, providing a more trustworthy way to evaluate trading outcomes.
