While beleaguered Hong Kong advice firm Convoy ups its investment ahead of local push
Troubled Hong Kong financial advice firm Convoy Global is being sued by one of its biggest backers in an attempt the halt the sale of shares in another company at a substantial loss.
A Hong Kong billionaire has launched a HK$309m (£28.4m, $39.4m, €31.8m) lawsuit against his business partner and former Convoy director Roy Cho Kawi-chee, who has not been seen since November.
The former director of troubled Convoy Global has had his assets on the British Virgin Islands frozen, with the firm also filing a writ against him and 12 others, demanding they pay £16m in compensation.
Hong Kong’s anti-graft body and market regulator have joined forces to raid the office of Town Health International Medical Group, a company that has strong ties to the embattled financial advisory firm Convoy Global.
Raids by Hong Kong’s anti-corruption commission have forced one of the special administrative region’s biggest financial advice firms into the harsh glare of media and public scrutiny.
Hong Kong’s High Court has ruled that three separate legal cases against beleaguered investment company Convoy Global should be heard together and has set a court date of 6 March.
Embattled Convoy Global has warned investors against dealing with shares that it alleges were wrongly allotted to six individuals; including the company’s second largest shareholder, who recently failed to remove several executive directors in a thwarted boardroom takeover.
An executive director of Convoy Global has resigned from the embattled company, citing a disagreement with the board of directors and legal action being taken against him and several other directors and employees.
The second largest shareholder in embattled Hong Kong financial advisory firm Convoy has lashed out at the company’s chairman, calling him “rude”, for taking away his voting rights in a meeting where he had attempted to remove several members of the management team.
