Investment firm London Capital & Finance was Ponzi scheme, court rulesReutersInvestment firm London Capital & Finance , whose failure in 2019 triggered one of Britain’s biggest retail investment scandals, operated as a Ponzi scheme, a London judge ruled on Thursday.

Former auditors and directors have also been fined.
Thomson had “wanted to take out as much money as possible”, was “recklessly indifferent” to bondholders, had lied, forged signatures and knowingly misled auditor PwC, the judge said.
