Peter Cruddas is founder of CMC markets
The UK Telegraph have a profile which makes interesting reading on this slowish Asia afternoon

Crudass isn't very impressed with bitcoin et al
- "'Kleptos' I call them [cryptocurrencies] - I think they're a gambling product, not an investment product," says Cruddas
