Does Russell Andersson misrepresent himself on LinkedIn?

His LinkedIn profile describes him as “currently” holding a VP position at HedgeStreet:

Reality Check:

- The “management team” page of the HedgeStreet website lists Yossi Beinart (President and CEO), Peter C. Lee (COO), and Timothy McDermott (General Counsel).

- The “board of directors” page of the HedgeStreet website lists Yossi Beinart (President and CEO), Peter Hetherington (Director) and Andrew MacKay (Director).

There is no mention of Russell Andersson as “VP Instrument Origination”.

  1. Is Russell Andersson still working for HedgeStreet as a VP? In that case, why is it that HedgeStreet’s website is not accurate?
  2. Was he told in 2007 by IG Group (the new owner) that his services were no longer needed? In that case, why can’t Russell Andersson update his LinkedIn profile? Additionally, in the case Russell Andersson was given the boot, would that mean that Russell Andersson has a large responsibility in the catastrophic failure of the pre-IG Group HedgeStreet?
