Navinder Singh Sarao, a 36-year-old former bank worker, has been accused of helping trigger a US stockmarket 'flash crash' from his parents' semi in Hounslow, west London

Sarao is fighting extradition to the US after being arrested at the west London home he shares with his parents. FBI agents are investigating claims that he transferred around £27 million to banks in the Caribbean.

Sarao now faces a possible 380-year prison sentence in the United States if he is convicted of triggering the crash - and if he is extradited by UK authorities.

Watch the video below to find out what people make of the "Hound of Hounslow" and what they make of the possibility of him being given a 380-year prison sentence.
