Rodney McCall, also known as Rodney Crichton has been charged with:
Name suppression on Rodney McCall and his company, Morgan Cooper Limited, was lifted on 8 August. See media release.
The Financial Markets Authority has charged Mr McCall with offences under the Crimes Act and the FMA Act at the Manukau District Court. A first hearing is scheduled for 12 June 2019. See media release.
The FMA alleges Mr McCall and his company, Morgan Cooper Limited, contacted investors to promote a foreign exchange investment service which did not exist. He obtained just under $100,000 from the people he contacted. Neither he, nor his company was authorised or licensed by the FMA, but he held out he would invest funds on their behalf.
Mr McCall also obstructed the exercise of the FMA’s powers during the investigation, by giving false evidence in purported compliance with a notice issued to him under section 25 of the Financial Markets Authority Act 2011.
