NovaTech FX securities fraud warning from Australia
NovaTech FX has received a securities fraud warning from the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC).
As per ASIC’s February 16th warning, NovaTech FX
is likely to be offering financial services to Australian consumers.
It does not hold an Australian financial services licence or Australian credit licence from ASIC, and is not authorised by a licensee.
Offering securities without registration with ASIC constitutes securities fraud under Australian law.
NovaTech FX was a Ponzi scheme run by serial scammers Cynthia and Eddy Petion.
The Petions went into hiding in the lead up to NovaTech FX collapsing in February 2023.
Outside of Australia, NovaTech FX has attracted regulatory attention from Russia, California, Canada, Wisconsin and Washington.
The SEC also recently confirmed a federal fraud investigation into NovaTech FX and the Petions is underway.
Website’s been down for a while now as well. Too bad regulators are late to call out these scams a lot of times.
Why bother now?
