In this episode, we cover a recent enforcement case from the UK’s Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) involving the conviction of Daniel Pugh, who ran the £1.3 million Imperial Investment Fund—a Ponzi scheme that defrauded 238 investors. Largely promoted through Facebook, the scheme lured victims with promises of unrealistic daily, weekly, and annual returns. We discuss the charges brought against Pugh, including conspiracy to defraud and breaches of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 for unauthorised regulated activity and unlawful promotions. The FCA has reaffirmed its commitment to tackling financial crime and will now pursue confiscation proceedings to recover the illicit profits from this case.
