FCA Prosecutes Five Individuals for Role in 'All-or-nothing' Investment Scheme

（2022/11/1）

Following an application at Southwark Crown Court on 31 October 2022, two

prosecutions for alleged investment fraud will be heard as a single trial of four
defendants. This is listed to start on 6 February 2023 with a 6-8 week time estimate.

It is alleged that between June 2016 and January 2020 Cameron Vickers, Raheel

Mirza and Opeyemi Solaja (aka Opeyemi Olaja) ran a London based company called

Bespoke Markets Group which defrauded £1.2 million from UK investors. It is

alleged that that money was used to fund their lifestyles, rather than the binary options

investments that were advertised. They were each charged with offences under the

Financial Services and Markets Act 2000, the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 and an

offence of conspiracy to defraud contrary to common law.

In May 2022, Reuben Akpojaro, who also worked at Bespoke Markets Group,

was charged with the same offences relating to the scheme.

Last month, a further charge was brought against Raheel Mirza and a fifth

individual, Taheer Sardar, for perverting the course of justice relating to the FCA’s
investigation. The FCA alleges that between 31 July 2022 and the 1 October 2022, the

two men created a false document to influence the case. This was adjourned until 16

November 2022 for a Plea and Trial Preparation Hearing.
