London Capital Finance Insolvent in 2017
According to today's FT, LCF were insolvent as far back as 2017.
The FT used an accountant to analyse the published accounts which suggests that LCF had negative assets of almost £10 million in 2017. According to the quote in the FT:
It begs the question of how two major accountancy firms could sign off their accounts as auditors when the picture was so misleading.
Could there be a way for investors to claim against them for their lack of warning of the state of the company?

We should be able to claim 100% funds back due to this shocking twist of events. Only a corrupt system and lacklustre administrators will stop money being returned.
ReplyDeleteI agree, if auditors make such a hash of clear malfeasance their feet should be held to the fire and they should have to pay compensation.
