Hong Kong Court Convicts & Imposed Fine on Individual of HKD 6,000 for Advising on Securities Without Licence, Enticed 3 Retail Investors to Invest in
5th July 2023 | Hong Kong
A Hong Kong court has convicted & imposed a fine on an individual (Ben Ngai Ping Kuen) of HKD 6,000 ($767, and to pay cost of investigation by Hong Kong SFC) for advising on securities without a licence (Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission, SFC), enticing 3 retail investors to invest in a Hong Kong-listed shares forecasted to increase by 100% but share price fell substantially thereafter. Hong Kong SFC: “The Court found that between April 2016 and June 2017, Ngai enticed three retail investors to invest in so-called “US-listed” shares issued by First Asia Holdings Limited (FAH), to finance FAH and/or First Asia Capital Limited (FAC) in their preparation for the purported secondary listing of FAH shares in Hong Kong. Ngai represented to the investors, among other things, that if the secondary listing in Hong Kong was successful, the value of their investment in FAH shares would increase by 100% and that if they intended to realise their investment return, they would have to swap their FAH shares for the shares in a Hong Kong-listed corporation, namely PF Group Holdings Limited (PF). By the time the investors received their PF shares, the price of the PF shares had fallen substantially.” More info below.
