Australian (ASX) Stock Market Forum

Yeah, could be a good case for negligence for the ASX although ASIC has legislation that allows them to "ignore" some complaints and choose which ones they investigate. Who from ASIC determines whether something is in the public interest?

PM Morrison's right hand man lashes ASIC for going easy on suspect directors

By Richard Baker
17 November 2018


Australia’s corporate regulator will not take any action against directors linked to alleged undisclosed share placements, stock price manipulation and misleading statements at an ASX-listed company that caused investors to lose $40 million.

In addition, senior executives from the Australian Securities and Investments Commission have admitted that the regulator may not act even when there is strong evidence to suggest breaches of law, saying aggrieved investors had the option of private litigation.

'We're not perfect': Regulators admit mistakes, promise to get tough

Over the past year, as serious concerns emerged about the actions of a handful of LWP’s past directors, a host of federal politicians - including Scott Morrison during his time as treasurer - have raised the company’s problems with ASIC.

ASIC’s senior executive, Warren Day, told a federal parliamentary committee in August the regulator had received information about alleged “insider trading, undisclosed related party transactions, manipulation of the share price… and misleading statements” involving LWP.

The ASX in 2016 queried LWP over breaches of disclosure rules in relation to share placements with shell companies associated with LWP's former chief executive, Sean Corbin, former chairman Siegfried Konig and members of their respective families.

The share placements occurred without LWP seeking shareholder approval and the ASX required all shares acquired through this process to be sold within a month and the proceeds donated to a registered charity.

The ASX also questioned a large share placement arrangement with an external company associated with Mr Konig.

A failed $770,000 investment in an Indian-based joint venture and shares issued to key staff shortly before the joint venture was announced to the market was also raised with ASIC.

Despite the serious allegations, Mr Day has said ASIC will not be pursuing anyone associated with LWP because of a lack of documentary evidence to support proceedings against the persons of interest.

Mr Corbin, the former chief executive of LWP, went on to found failed Brisbane company Franchise Retail Brands. LWP's former chairman Siegfried Konig was also a founding director of FRB.

FRB went into administration in January. Mr Corbin then registered a new company called Phoenix Franchising Pty Ltd.

Mr Corbin said ASIC's decision not to pursue him and other former LWP directors showed the allegations made being made against them could not be substantiated. He did admit there were some corporate governance issues at LWP during his time there, mostly relating to the placement of shares with adult children.

"There were some minor breaches. We were slapped over the hands and we rectified our corporate governance policy," he said.

Mr Corbin said he was disappointed Mr Irons had made his comments at the committee hearing without speaking to him or Mr Konig. He also felt confident ASIC would not be taking action in relation to events at FRB.

Mr Konig did not respond to inquiries. He has previously said he personally lost more than $2 million in LWP's downfall.

Mr Day told Senator Hume in writing that ASIC was still assessing allegations of FRB’s “alleged illegal phoenix activity”.
 
....and then they did a share Consolidation while in suspension. Post Consolidation appears to be 29 January 2019. 1 for 2 Consolidation.

WEALTH WARNING: This stock has been subject to a Consolidation in the past and may at some time in the future cause you to lose all your invested capital. Better value elsewhere.
 
This company has been suspended since August 2017, not sure if it will ever trade again.

The directors involved may end up with jail time once all is done and dusted.

I bet they don't JimBob, some of the stuff these companies get away with is just breathtakingly wrong on so many levels but it is all done under the protection of this or that ASX Listing Rule. It looks like they are trying to blow life into this bit of junk with a share Consolidation, mind you a 1 for 2 is on the more generous side to some I have seen lately, followed by a share placement of millions of shares and a new name.

They have a shiny new web site all ready for the name change and bullsh!t. A place for videos as well.....YAY! http://lwptech.com/

.....and then we will have the little folk who pop in for a few posts to tell us what a gem this is and how much money we will make if we buy into their you-beaut story of some health care/EVs/infrastructure related crap or whatever their flavour of the reincarnation is this time. Then Mr. Clarke will design a lovely stairway to heaven and off we go again!

It might be the sweet little Andrew Norman Sparke who has extensive experience in Equity Capital Markets, capital raising and corporate advisory services, who will come and have a chat and tell us how fab it will be this time around under their new name. I wonder what he will call himself?

I will always see you as wee Andy, darling!

They also did a 70:1 consolidation a few months ago so effectively a 140:1 consolidation.

The LWP shareholders website is a much better read:

As I said, legal theft. Those "LWP Shareholders Against Wealth Destruction" are just wasting their time. There are two ways to combat this. First is to change the corporations act, good luck with that one. The second is to make as many people as aware of this immoral, unethical, let's just do a dictionary of adjectives....
amoral, unprincipled, unscrupulous, dishonourable, wrong, dishonest, deceitful, disreputable, unconscionable, fraudulent, dirty, unfair, underhand, devious, slippery, bad, wicked, evil, sinful, iniquitous, corrupt, depraved, villainous;
unprofessional, improper, unseemly, unworthy, negligent; shady, crooked, not cricket;dodgy.......

behaviour by naming and shaming the companies and the people responsible as I am trying to do here. May their crap companies never rise again! We need to all group together and work to destroy these unscrupulous leeches of the markets.

Here is the relevant Corporations Act 2001
