Recently, several comedians have targeted these flashy influencers, poking fun at their claims of fortune made through trading.
In a recent skit, Flaqo suggested that some individuals claiming to be forex traders use unethical methods to make money and exploit the profession’s image.
Why did forex traders trend?
In the video, Flaqo made a controversial joke about teaching forex, which sparked backlash.
Several well-known forex traders, including Sammy Boy, Kenyan Prince, and Kafuri, expressed their displeasure with the content.
What did Max Anthony say about Kenyan Prince?
Amidst all this, a professional trader from the US has added fuel to the fire.
Max Anthony, who describes himself as a professional trader, shared a video of watching Kenyan Prince and his peers. They were excitedly watching a TV screen with a line chart.
“The video is making me think,” Anthony said, but stopped himself short.
He then moved on to the next part of the video, showing the group counting down before the graph suddenly started rising.
Kenyan Prince and his peers jumped in excitement while looking at their phones. They showed their screen to the camera, seemingly trying to show how much they had made.
In the caption, Anthony wrote:
“These traders are acting like… let me know in the comments.”
Many interpreted it as Anthony questioning the authenticity of Kenyan Prince and his friends. However, some Kenyans defended them:
