Banxso licence withdrawal – FST dismisses reconsideration bid
The Tribunal dismisses separate applications brought by Banxso and four executives, saying they lack legal standing.

The Tribunal dismisses separate applications brought by Banxso and four executives, saying they lack legal standing.

The Authority says the penalties reflect the financial benefit gained from unlawful conduct and the harm to clients – handing 30-year debarments to several Banxso executives.

Judge says there is a prima facie case that the trading platform does not operate within the confines of the law.

The FSCA says Banxso and Afrimarkets are linked through common directorships and conducted their business in a similar manner.

Banxso claims the FSCA violated the Financial Sector Regulation Act by handing over interview transcripts that were supposed to remain internal. The Authority insists its subpoena was valid and no promises of confidentiality were made.

As scammers exploit Banxso investors with fake fund recovery schemes, Banxso and law firm Mostert & Bosman point fingers at each other over data breaches and accountability.

Scammers are preying on Banxso investors, promising to recover lost funds for a fee, the FSCA warns.

The Authority challenges Banxso’s claim that it is not connected to Immediate Matrix’s deepfake adverts.

The liquidation application against Banxso claims that the number of clients deceived by the deepfake adverts is far greater than previously reported.

The Authority says its investigation raises concerns about aggressive sales tactics, unrealistic returns, and significant losses by clients.

The trading platform denies any involvement in the deepfake advertisements that circulated on social media.
