Hong Kong SFC Increased Bail Conditions for Ramp & Dump Scheme Individual for Breaching Bail Conditions Including Incorrect Residential Address & Missed Routine Reporting to Police Station

Hong Kong, Asia’s leading financial centre

Ramp-and-dump suspect arrested for breaches of court bail conditions

18th May 2023 – The Eastern Magistracy has imposed more stringent bail conditions on Ms Tse Yiu Chung (formerly known as Tse Man Kwan), who is a defendant charged with offences relating to certain “ramp-and-dump” schemes, after the Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) discovered that she does not reside at her reported residential address during the investigation of another case.

Tse was arrested by the Police for breaching the bail conditions imposed on her by the Court.  She was brought to the Eastern Magistracy on 17 May 2023.  At the hearing, the Court was told that Tse had reported an incorrect residential address to the Court and failed to report to the police station on several occasions, in breach of her various bail conditions imposed by the Court at the last mention hearing on 4 April 2023 (Note 1).

The Court imposed stricter bail conditions on Tse: (i) cash bail was increased from $1 million to $1.5 million; (ii) requirement to report to police station made daily instead of weekly; and (iii) comply with curfew order to stay at the new reported residential address from 12 am to 6 am.

So far a total of 24 individuals were charged, following a series of extensive investigations by the SFC and the Police into suspected ramp-and-dump stock investment schemes and suspected money laundering activities.  The case was adjourned to 4 October 2023.

The SFC’s Executive Director of Enforcement, Mr Christopher Wilson, said: “We will continue our close collaboration with the Police in combating financial crimes, including “ramp-and-dump” market manipulation. To this end, we also remind investors to stay vigilant when they are solicited by unknown individuals through social media, and be wary of fraudsters impersonating well-known market commentators and tricking investors into trading thinly-traded listed stocks with dubious stock tips”.

Total 24 People Charged for Ramp & Dump Market Manipulation Scheme and $82 Million Assets Frozen in Securities Trading Account

Hong Kong, Asia’s leading financial centre

4th April 2023 – 6 additional suspects – including key members and an alleged ringleader – were charged with various criminal offences following an earlier joint operation of the Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) and the Police against a large-scale and sophisticated syndicate suspected of operating “ramp-and-dump” market manipulation.

These suspects appeared at the Eastern Magistracy today.  Four of them were charged with the offences of conspiracy to defraud and conspiracy to employ a scheme with intent to defraud or deceive in transactions involving securities under common law, section 300 of the Securities and Futures Ordinance and section 159A and 159C of the Crimes Ordinance and the rest were charged with money laundering related offences.

No plea was taken and the case was adjourned to 4 October 2023.  The Court granted bail to them on these conditions: (i) not to leave Hong Kong; (ii) surrender all travel documents; (iii) report to police station on regular basis; and (iv) cash bail ranging from $500,000 to $1 million.

The SFC’s Executive Director of Enforcement, Mr Christopher Wilson, said: “We will see to it that suspects of market misconduct are brought to justice and the integrity of Hong Kong’s financial market and the investing public are protected.  To this end, we will not hesitate to deploy legal and regulatory tools at our disposal and continue our collaboration with the Police and other law enforcement agencies in combating financial crimes.”

The additional number of suspects charged bring to 20 the total number of people charged following a series of extensive investigations by the SFC and the Police on suspected “ramp-and-dump” stock investment schemes and suspected money laundering activities.  In September and November last year, a total of 14 suspects, including the alleged ringleaders and key members of other “ramp-and-dump” syndicates, were charged with various criminal offences.  In addition, the SFC has frozen the assets held in the securities trading accounts by members of these alleged syndicates at a total value to the tune of HKD 650 million $82 million).

The Court today was informed that Ms Tse Yiu Chung (previously known as Tse Man Kwan), Mr Wu Hon Cheung, Ms Ng Ka Man and Mr Cheung Chak Ho are alleged to have conspired with a number of individuals, including those who had already been charged last September, to use multiple nominee accounts to corner the shares of two target stocks and drive up the prices of these stocks between September 2018 and April 2019.

The syndicate is alleged to have induced investors to purchase shares in these stocks through social media platforms to facilitate their disposal of shares at a profit.  The prices of these stocks collapsed in November 2018 and April 2019 once the demand was exhausted.  No further comment will be made as legal proceedings have commenced.
