$23M investment fraud; permanent trading bans and $6.74M disgorgement
Sextant Capital Management Inc. · Asset management
The case in brief
Visible before detection
Checks that could have surfaced it, on hindsight
Bank credits vs books
Fund account statements would reveal actual fund balance versus claimed NAV
Can mislead when: AA only sees the accounts the company links, so an undisclosed account stays invisible. Cash-heavy businesses and timing differences create false flags.
Ownership / related-party links
Corporate registry would show Spork's ownership of IGP and connection to fund investments
Can mislead when: Nominee directors and offshore layers hide links. Name matching throws up false positives, so every flag shows its evidence path.
End-use tracing of funds
$6.8M transferred to related entities could be traced through bank records
Can mislead when: Kubr sees only the company's own accounts. Once money reaches a third party's bank, Kubr can flag the payee but cannot see the next hop without that party's consent.

Mapped from the checks each service runs. A hindsight reading of public records, not a promise that the failure would have been found.
Same pattern
A summary of public documents. It reports what the sources say. It is not Kubr's finding and not a statement of guilt.
