Tiffit's collapse
We look at the collapse of Tiffit Securities and what lessons the SFC can learn from it. In our view, they should have shut this firm down and banned its operator 3 years ago, after a second regulatory offence and a criminal prosecution. The owner and his firms were also in trouble in Australia in 2001 and 2002 (21-Jul-2006)
