I don't know about the laws in Belgium, but at most places this is clearly illegal. If someone is giving financial advice without a licence, then this is practising a regulated profession, and if someone is distributing false and misleading information and benefits financially from it then this is fraud and a criminal offence. The only problem is that it usually takes a lot of effort and money to go after such fraud artists.


By the way, this Eddy Lavreysen guy is doing his scams all over the place at other websites and forums as well. Some examples:

Efficient system

Software for investors

New false identities are Tom Peters and Ben Randall.
