Judgement Alert 🚨 London Capital and Finance was a Ponzi Scheme

Nov 26, 2024

London capital and Finance Judgment

If you’re a regular follower of our posts then you’ll know we’ve been reporting on this case for a while.

The failure of London Capital & Finance (LCF) triggered one of Britain’s biggest retail investment scandals. Now finally a High Court judge has ruled that the investment firm did indeed operate as a Ponzi scheme.

LCF’s collapse came with a £237 million price tag for its investors, and a £120 million compensation bill for taxpayers.

Administrators are now seeking to recoup £177.5m in damages for LCF’s creditors, as well as calling for an independent inquiry into the Financial Conduct Authority’s supervision of the business.

We’ll continue to keep you updated on the progress of this case, and will report on the judges determination of damages as soon as it is available.
