Sonray collapse

Hello first timer here.

Question does anybody know if Sonray was or is covered by SIPC????, if not
Why was it given what ever licence it did have without being covered by
SIPC????. Also would Saxo bank have SIPC cover???

Isn't SIPC an American organisation? Sonray is an Australian firm and has (or had) and AFS licence. I am afraid that having a licence does not stop people from dipping their fingers in the till - which is, it seems, what happened at Sonray. SOMEBODY used client money to trade - and lost it!
 
All clients (or former clients) of Sonray Capital Markets need to be aware that they have until Tuesday 31st August to register with Slater & Gordon for "no win, no fee" class action.

The investigation will focus not only on Sonray and its directors, but also on others who recommended their products and services.
 

Absolutely disgraceful. A bunch of thieves.

At least now these are pretty clear criminal acts and they should receive their rightful punishments.
 
It would appear that the problems have little to do with CFDs being dangerous instruments to trade (as was first suggested), and everything to do with pure and simple theft - two owners of a company entrusted with their clients' money just blatantly helping themselves as and when they felt like it. What low-life they are! As a result of their outrageous greed and complete disregard for the property of others, people have lost substantial amounts of money. In some cases it could represent a large part of their life-savings, or even their superannuation.

Though it may not help those whose accounts were emptied out, I hope Murray and Johnson do long stints in jail. Words can't express the scorn and derision I feel for such people.
 
I don't care whether or not they go to jail, although of course they deserve the maximum sentences that can be given. I just want my money back, and these two bastards should have everything taken from them - their houses, their money, their artwork, their valuables, everything should be given back. The father-in-law should also be made to pay back what he owes.

Of course, we can guess what will happen. They've gone and spent a lot of our money, haven't they? Are the schools going to pay back their school fees donated by us? Their bills have been taken care of and of course the crooks will say they have nothing left. Everything will be in their wives' and kids' names so of course they won't have to pay back much, and even if they did, Ferrier Hodgson and Slater and Gordon, and whoever else will become pigs at the trough leaving us a few scraps if we're lucky.

It's very unfair and infuriating, but what can we do?
 

I got this on email today. No Ferrier Hodgson letterhead and no reference to them either. The E-mail address looks legit but I have seen scams like that before (HSBC).

I have sent an email to Hodges for confirmation, awaiting reply. Interesting that it was sent on a Friday evening with a deadline Monday morning.

Just an outsider looking in.

[FONT=&quot]I find it quite surprising how ASIC can allow the website for this 'robbers den' remain up when the company is in administration, or at least have something in the home/splash page advising of administration status. Are they really looking out for us?[/FONT]
 
ASIC seems to be a bit of a paper tiger. Fraudulent financial services companies continue to flourish unfettered by ethics, morality or (it appears) laws! Forums like this play an important part in exposing these unscrupulous practices.
