Bangkok, 5 May 2020 – SEC has revoked the approval for a securities investment consultant named Ms. Sunisa Yemsantea for 10 years, starting from 6 May 2020, on account of committing wrongful acts against investor’s assets by concealing, dissembling, fabricating false evidence, misappropriating a client’s money and using it for personal benefit at the approximate amount of 2.5 million baht.
In
addition, SEC shall not accept her future application for approval as capital
market business personnel until the revocation period ends. At the time of her misconduct,
Sunisa was working for TMB Bank Public Company Limited (TMB).
According to the operating report of TMB, a Limited Broker Dealer and
Underwriter (LBDU) licensee, and SEC’s further investigation, it was found that
Sunisa had misappropriated the client’s money by forging the client’s signature,
revising the client’s significant information to access the client’s mobile
banking account and transferring money from the client’s account to her own
account.
Moreover, there was a cash withdrawal of 1 million baht at a bank counter for
which the client had signed on the withdrawal slip in advance without writing
down a specific amount. She also executed transactions of mutual fund unit
subscription, but not until she had transferred the subscription money to her
own account first. In this regard, Sunisa submitted a written confession that
she had misappropriated the client’s money and used it for her own benefit at
the approximate amount of 2.5 million baht.
SEC has considered that Sunisa failed to perform duties or provide services
with loyalty* by concealing, hiding and fabricating false
evidence, and therefore revoked the approval and will not accept her future
application for approval as personnel in the capital market business for a
period of 10 years, effective from 6 May 2020.
