Federal Court orders businesses of Chris Marco be wound up after he ran alleged Ponzi scheme
A Perth businessman with a taste for classic muscle cars who is alleged to have run a Ponzi scheme and owes hundreds of millions of dollars to investors will have his businesses wound up, under Federal Court orders.
Key points:
Justice Neil McKerracher found Chris Marco ran a financial services business without a licence as well as an unregistered investment scheme.
It is believed up to 132 investors are owed at least $250 million by Mr Marco’s company AMS Holdings (WA) Pty Ltd, who the corporate watchdog alleges promised high returns because of his ability to tap into international private investment programs.
