About this episode
The episode investigates finance professionals who were misled by a British businessman behind training courses in Dubai.
Finance professionals who paid thousands for training courses in Dubai seemingly endorsed by a government official say they were duped by the British businessman behind them. Participants in the 12-week “accelerator” programmes say they provided little in the way of useful training, while the millions in potential investment offers promised to graduates never materialised. File on 4 Investigates a trail of deception left by the British “finfluencer” behind the course.
