A Sydney man has been permanently banned from financial services and from managing a company for 18 months for providing investment advice without a licence.
Baulkham Hills resident Dimitri Amargianitakis has been banned and entered into an enforced undertaking (EU) with ASIC after an investigation found he had operated a financial services business without an AFSL – including making “investment recommendations to investors” – as part of his role as a director of Vista Capital.
Mr Amargianitakis was also found to have “signed statements in circumstances where he knew that they were not accurate”.
