Background on regulator’s action against IOU Central

wiseclerk

Today the Quebec security regulator in a press release commented on the action taken against IOU Central:

At the request of the Autorité des marchés financiers (AMF), the Bureau de décision et de révision en valeurs mobilières (BDRVM) issued an order on February 27, 2008 against IOU Central Inc. ("IOU") to cease any activity, directly, indirectly or by Internet, in respect of a transaction in a form of investment governed by the Securities Act (the "Act"), including any activity as a securities dealer. The BDRVM also ordered Philippe Marleau and all directors, officers, employees, representatives and mandataries of IOU to cease any activity in respect of a transaction in securities in a form of investment governed by the Act for and on behalf of IOU, including any activity as a securities dealer.

…

For the protection of investors, the AMF stressed that it was imperative that the BDRVM issue this decision without a prior hearing since IOU continued to operate its website.
The Autorité des marchés financiers (AMF) is the regulatory and oversight body for Québec’s financial sector.

  1. Thanks for the link. I’ll be adding a Blogroll shortly enough and you’ll definitely be on it. Of course, that is because of your quality work, not just this :).

    The Toronto Star link seems to work fine from here, but I’ll change it up in case others are having any problems.

    Thanks!
