Following an Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) investigation, Jana Jaros, Jackson Laurence, and Malcom Capper of the Gold Coast have been charged over the running of two unlicensed financial services businesses.
Jaros and Capper appeared in the Southport Magistrates Court on Monday for the alleged aiding and abetting of Astra Group Pty Ltd and Old Cambridge Pty Ltd to carry out a financial services business without an Australian Financial Services (AFS) license.
All three also face charges for lodging with ASIC documents which contained false and misleading information.
The matter was adjourned until 4 September.
