Abstract:The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has initiated criminal proceedings against Guy Flintham, accusing him of engaging in fraudulent activities by false representation and conducting a regulated activity without proper authorization.
The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has initiated criminal proceedings against Guy Flintham, accusing him of engaging in fraudulent activities by false representation and conducting a regulated activity without proper authorization.
According to the FCA, spanning from January 2016 to November 2021, Mr. Flintham, residing in Blackburn, Lancashire, allegedly defrauded approximately 240 investors, enticing them to invest around £19 million in an investment scheme under his operation.
Flintham is alleged to have made misleading claims to investors regarding the operation of the scheme and the profits they could anticipate. He went as far as falsifying documents to substantiate some of these claims.
In the course of accepting funds from investors, Flintham undertook the regulated activity of accepting deposits, a function for which he lacked the necessary authorization. Consequently, the FCA asserts that, as an unauthorized individual, Flintham committed the offense of engaging in regulated activity without proper authorization or exemption.
Appearing at Westminster Magistrates Court on January 22, 2024, Mr. Flintham entered a plea of Not Guilty regarding the charge of carrying on regulated activity without proper authorization or exemption. However, he did not provide a plea in connection with the fraud offense. The case has been forwarded to Southwark Crown Court for a Plea and Trial Preparation Hearing scheduled for February 19, 2024.
