Hedge fund manager Jonathan Iu ordered to disgorge HK$5.6m profit from false trading, disqualified for 4 years
| MMT report
SFC, 3-Jul-2024
Not in the press release: the profit was in his Mum's account, with no evidence that it flowed back to Mr Iu. The SFC submitted that the MMT could not order disgorgement against Iu as this would be a criminal penalty in a civil case, but MMT Chair Ian McWalters ruled that the law allows it. Iu is now in the UK and claims poverty, so will likely never pay. The MMT is highly critical of the nearly 10-year timeframe for concluding the case, and lays out the internal procedure in detail.

MMT finds ex-CEO of SuperRobotics (8176) and 2 others culpable of market manipulation
Market Misconduct Tribunal, 7-Aug-2018
That was 3 name changes ago, in 2009. None of the 3 actively defended themselves, 1 sending a lawyer's letter from Taiwan and another claiming she was too depressed to instruct a lawyer, a claim which the MMT rejected. We wait to see what sanctions will be determined. The report covers the funds flow in detail, involving concerted trading between 2 groups of accounts which the MMT finds were funded and coordinated by Samantha Keung.
