Exclusive: FX news blog FinanceFeeds sold
FNG Exclusive… FNG has learned that FX industry news website FinanceFeeds (financefeeds.com) has been sold.
FinanceFeeds was started as a personal FX blog by Andrew Saks-McLeod in 2015. Mr. Saks-McLeod had previously been a writer for other forex blogs including Leaprate and FinanceMagnates (then known as ForexMagnates). Most of the writing on FinanceFeeds over the past several years has been done by Bulgaria based writer Maria Nikolova, who had worked with Mr. Saks-McLeod at Leaprate.
FNG has learned that Mr. Saks-McLeod sent out a note yesterday (see text below) to some of FinanceFeeds’ current and previous advertisers with news of the sale. The note, sent by email, indicates that the buyer is a company called FinFeed Services Ltd. FinFeed appears to be a newly incorporated UK company, controlled by Israeli-Cypriot businessman Ilja Kremer. The company also lists a director, Cyprus based Marios Nikolaou.

“sold'” is an overused term here, he gave it away to soemone else who might be able to compete with Magnates and this site too i suppose. andrew had approached a number of lets call them “investors” in fx recently including me looking for a minority investor partner, which meant lifeline but nobody bit.
