Hong Kong Court Sentenced ex-University Student Lai Ka Yi to 2 Weeks in Jail & to Pay $12,600 Compensation to Victim for Operating Business in Dealing with Securities Without SFC Licence in 2018
30th October 2024 | Hong Kong
A Hong Kong court has sentenced an ex-university student Lai Ka Yi to 2 weeks in jail and to pay $12,600 (HKD 98,000) compensation to a victim for operating business in dealing with securities without a Hong Kong SFC licence (Securities & Futures Commission) in 2018. Hong Kong SFC (30/10/24): “The Eastern Magistrates’ Court today sentenced Ms Lai Ka Yi to two weeks’ imprisonment and ordered her to pay a sum of $98,000 as compensation to a victim of her unlicensed activity after she was convicted of holding herself out as carrying on a business in dealing in securities without a licence from the Securities and Futures Commission (SFC). This is the first time the Court has imposed an immediate jail sentence for an unlicensed activity offence under section 114 of the SFO with a compensation order in a prosecution brought by the SFC (Notes 1 and 2). Lai was also ordered to pay the SFC’s investigation costs. The Court heard that between April and 10 May 2018, Lai who was then a university student, held herself out to the victim, who she knew personally, as carrying on a business in dealing in securities. Lai enticed the victim to transfer to her bank account funds for her to invest in securities on the victim’s behalf (Note 3). In the end, the victim was unable to withdraw the investment from Lai except receiving from her $2,000 in purported earnings. Lai, who will appeal against both conviction and sentence, has been granted bail pending her appeal. The SFC reminds the investing public to check the SFC’s Public Register of Licensed Persons and Registered Institutions on the SFC’s website (www.sfc.hk) to ensure that firms and individuals who provide dealing services in securities are properly licensed.”
