True, but there’s no way an 11 year old would have access to 100:1 leverage, even with derivatives. LTCM wasn’t much higher than 100:1, and they’re just about the all-time kings of leverage. There’s things like regulatory limits and credit checks to contend with here.
Edit: Silly me, I should actually have read your link. I’m used to limits on equity leverage, apparently forex works damn near an order of magnitude higher. Disregard the above.
I was in an equity mindset, where the rules are much tighter, because the underlying assets are so much more volatile. Doing that sort of leverage there would require you to post some pretty hefty collateral(likely beyond the means of Prof. Verres) and be in a low-regulation jurisdiction for it to even be legal(which the UK is not).

Harry has a father who is quite respectable. He could act through his father.
