Put a stop to market manipulation across numerous AIM listed companies

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

With the recent news regarding the insolvency of 'Beaufort Securities', why does it take the FBI (US) to do the work of the the FCA? It's clear market manipulation across numerous AIM listed companies at the cost of genuine investors. Why no action by U.K. regulators?

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

This petition seems to be calling on the Financial Conduct Authority, not the UK Government or Parliament, to take action.
