Market Watch - Wall Street Journal: Says quotes in press release falsely attributed to him

LONDON (MarketWatch) -- Financier Jim Rogers Friday denied making remarks attributed to him in a press release this week saying the pound sterling is at risk of imminent collapse. "I did not know about this press release. I didn't say those things," Rogers told MarketWatch.com in a phone interview from Singapore Friday. "I am on record as saying the U.K. has serious problems over the next few years and the pound sterling has serious problems over the next few years as well," Rogers said in the interview. "I would say the same about a lot of currencies. All paper money is suspect these days." "I think the euro PROBABLY will survive this bout with the Greeks," Rogers said. (I commented in the previous article that I didn't see a Sterling crisis until after the General Election)
