These customers were led to believe that professional traders would conduct the trading on their behalf through “foreign exchange brokerages” — Triumph Global and Union Markets.Judge Soh also convicted the pair of offences involving Triumph Global and Union Markets.
“In my view, the scheme preyed on investors’ trust through deliberate misrepresentations, manipulation of outcomes, and unsustainable financial practices,” Judge Soh said. Ng was one of the people who had carried out the “trading” even though he was neither qualified nor licensed to do so.
