Surely that's fake

I’m not sure it’s fake, but I can’t find any source showing him endorsing it. They might just be using his likeness without permission

My point exactly. "That" being the endorsement, not the app/marketing

Nope, I took the screenshot myself six months ago then forgot to upload. Now they removed it and the URL is not cached by archive.org

By "that" do you mean the image as it appears on the app store is real, or that the endorsement is?

I mean the image as it appears on the app store (which now has been removed and it's not cached by internet archive)
It might be that they done it without permission as anyway they don't operate on the US market so the repercussions would be almost none
But I don't understand the message that they wanted to convey, to me is like "We're not grifters, trust us with your hard earned money, here's a grifter endorsing us. Ah, BTW, 82% of our customers lose money when trading CFD, but surely you will be one of the winners"
