[h2]Trader was not a hoaxer, says BBC[/h2]
A financial trader who appeared on the BBC was not a hoaxer, the broadcaster has said after doubt was cast on his credentials.
It issued a statement after Twitter users suggested that Alessio Rastani was not a trader.
"We've carried out detailed investigations and can't find any evidence to suggest that the interview... was a hoax," the BBC said.
In the interview, Mr Rastani said traders "dream of recessions".
He was interviewed live on the BBC News Channel on Monday and said: "For most traders, we don't really care that much how they're going to fix the economy, how they're going to fix the whole situation - our job is to make money from it.
"Personally I've been dreaming of this moment for three years. I have a confession, which is I go to bed every night, I dream of another recession."
He then added: "The governments don't rule the world. [Investment bank] Goldman Sachs rules the world.
"Goldman Sachs does not care about this rescue package, neither does the big funds."
After Twitter speculation that he was a member of hoaxers The Yes Men, the BBC press office made enquiries and concluded: "He is an independent market trader and one of a range of voices we've had on air to talk about the recession."
On his website Mr Rastani describes himself as "an experienced stock market and forex trader and professional speaker".
