Abstract:The Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) has barred Mark Bringans from trading for the next eight years. He used to be in charge of Sirius Financial Markets Pty Ltd, a company that traded in over-the-counter derivatives.
Mr. Bringans' suspension follows an ASIC investigation into Sirius Financial (trading as 'Trade360,' which found that Sirius Financial acted unethically and violated its Australian financial services license obligations by failing to address the conduct of Toyga Media Ltd, an off-shore call center it hired to source clients to trade in its high-risk contracts-for-difference and margin foreign exchange contracts.
According to ASIC's inquiry, Toyga used pressure selling methods and gave personal advice on behalf of Sirius Financial when it was not authorized to do so.
ASIC banned Mr. Bringans from providing financial services because it found that he is not trained or knowledgeable enough to do so, that he is not a good fit to do so, and that he did not do one of his most important jobs as a responsible manager, which was to make sure Sirius Financial followed financial services laws.
The regulator also said that Mr. Bringans was an uninterested, disengaged, and responsible manager who did nothing but go to monthly meetings of the compliance committee.
Mr. Bringans' disqualification is listed on ASIC's Banned and Disqualified Persons Register.
Mr. Bringans has requested that the Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT) review ASIC's judgment. The AAT denied his attempt to prevent the ban order from taking effect.
After ASIC looked into Sirius Financial, the company agreed to stop doing business in both retail and wholesale and to give up its license. It will no longer provide financial services on July 29, 2022.
Jonathan Schneider and Oskar Pecyna, who used to work for Sirius Financial, have been told by ASIC that they can't run or manage a financial services firm or be in charge of a company that offers financial services for the next eight years. Both Mr. Schneider and Mr. Pecyna have asked the Administrative Appeals Tribunal to review the decision made by ASIC.
The Federal Court has in the past fined OTC derivatives providers after ASIC took action against them. AGM Markets was fined $75 million, while Forex CT was fined $20 million, for several violations of the Corporations Act, including unconscionable behavior.
