Currency trader sentenced for £70 million Ponzi scheme

En 41-årig brittiska valutahandlare erbjöd investerare en avkastning på 60 procent per år. Verkställande direktören för ett London-baserat valutahandelsföretag har befunnits skyldig till bedrägeri på sju punkter för att ha drivit ett falskt företag som agerade som ett Ponzi-bedrägeri.

A 41-year-old British currency trader offered investors a return of 60% per year. The chief executive of a London-based forex trading company has been found guilty of fraud on seven counts for running a fake company that acted as a Ponzi scheme.

The forex trader, who founded Capital World Markets, has been found guilty of a £70 million forex trading fraud after a “lengthy and complex investigation”, according to a statement from the City of London police.

The 41-year-old ran a Ponzi-style investment scam, offering a 60% annual return on currency trading, which he described to investors as risk-free, the statement said.

Capital World Markets operated from late 2013 to early 2015. On May 22, Southwark Crown Court found him guilty of seven counts of fraud and money laundering.

– This has been a long and complex investigation. Anthony Constantinou is a career criminal who is out to make as much money for himself as possible, without regard to anyone else,” said Nichola Meghji, a detective from the City of London Police.

“We are pleased that the jury has seen through his lies and unanimously found him guilty,” Meghji added.

During the investigation, the head of Capital World Markets used a prepared statement and denied knowledge of the fraud. He did not participate in the later stages of his trial.

According to the City of London Police, Constantinou will be sentenced in absentia on June 9.

There is money to be made in the currency market, but if it sounds too good to be true, it usually is.
