I have a feeling that Farage has missed the point. It's acceptable for people in government to have and make wealth. However, isn't it all about transparency? For example, Rishi Sunak and his family are wealthy but it's clear that wealth came from his own efforts working hard for Goldman Sachs and some hedge funds, and the Indian IT company built by his wife's father.

It's particularly important where those transactions involve crypto currencies.  It's a fact that Bitcoins in particular have been used by criminals, specifically hackers, to manipulate their ill gotten gains avoiding regulatory controls, and have been used by others to avoid regulations and money laundering controls.

That doesn’t mean all crypto funds are fraudulent - I've an ex colleague that works in an anti money laundering role for crypto token financial organisations who are legitimate traders in crypto assets - but it's all about being seen to follow regulations and demonstrate compliance with them.

I'm sure the NCA will now verify the legitimacy of his transactions. As Alan, Lord, Sugar perhaps if politicians had to follow the rules like company directors, who can be put in prison for making false statements, politics would be a lot better! Now there's a self made man not part of the old establishment like public schoolboy, trader and friend of tge minor aristocracy Farage ...
