Sally starts at about 6:11

Having just watched the relevant section, my major takeaway from it is that one MSE forumite would surely have self-combusted when seeing Martin Lewis himself promoting the  "leeching of free money" and, in the MSE forumite's view,  apparently "have no scruples". 🤣🤣🤣

And no, Mr. Lewis, Sally was not using a mule account. I hope he corrects this at some stage.

 I agree with Mr Lewis that educating people on banking terminology is important s one would hope so!

Good find! May be the course was written by someone else, and he hasn't yet taken the module?

To be fair, a money mule is quite distinct from a mule account. Nevertheless, for the avoidance of doubt, the MSE legal team should be advising that all references to any sort of mules are removed.

They wouldn’t want their esteemed founder making an a s s of himself.

Surely you can't be a money mule without having a mule account? And having a mule account automatically makes you a money mule?

Also worth bearing in mind that mules are sterile, therefore of limited use in acting as donors

I recall the MSE Forum expressing their shock  back in 2018 about MSE Towers promoting mule accounts.

So they've been doing this for donkey's years....
