Misconduct
Obtaining property by deception
Fraudulently promoted as low risk to a predominantly risk averse population. In the aftermath of the FMIF failure LMIM promoted the MPF that operated in the same property market, and in some cases in the same projects, largely predicated on higher risk 2nd mortgage positions.
9
Otaining financial advantage by deception
Cavalier approach to project selection and financial position adopted exemplified by the reckless commitment of over 60% of the MPF capital to the Maddison Estate.
10
TheftApparent criminal abuse of fiduciary responsibility evident in multiple breaches of trust of which it is suspected 'Peregian Beach' is "the tip of the iceberg"
11
Running a financial services business without a licensePersonal and other (Hong Kong) company loans translate to shameless embezzlement of investors money.
12
Massive audited accounts asset valuation discrepancies
13
Seriously questionable due diligence and risk profiling exhibited by advisors and bond providers
14
Outrageous attempts to move funds out of creditors reach as LMIM collapsed.
