CashFX Group securities fraud warning issued in Ireland

CashFX Group has received a securities fraud warning from the Central Bank of Ireland.

The Central Bank of Ireland is Ireland’s top financial regulator (think SEC in the US).

As per the
July 5th warning
, the Central Bank of Ireland writes;

It has come to the attention of the Central Bank of Ireland (‘Central Bank’) that Cash FX Group … as been operating as an investment firm/investment business firm in the State in the absence of appropriate authorisations.

It is a criminal offence for an unauthorised firm/person to provide financial services in Ireland that would require an authorisation under the relevant legislation which the Central Bank is the responsible body for enforcing.

This is the equivalent of a securities fraud warning in other jurisdictions.

Whereas securities fraud typically only attracts civil penalties, in Ireland it is a criminal offense.
