City watchdog ignores 45 warnings as investors lose £47m in bond scandal
MPs rally for investigation and call for compensation for victims
The first warning from the City of London Police was 18 months before Blackmore collapsed
The City watchdog was warned by the police on 45 occasions about suspicious activity at failed “mini-bond” provider Blackmore, which later collapsed costing investors £47m.
MPs and investors have demanded an inquiry into the Financial Conduct Authority’s role in Blackmore’s demise and called for a compensation scheme to be established by the Treasury.
This week investors in London Capital & Finance, another mini-bond firm which failed in similar circumstances, were handed a £120m government payout because of FCA blunders.
