FSC reports that Cash Plus cannot repay investors
31 March 2008

The high-yield investment scheme Cash Plus Ltd., saddled with a Cease & Desist Order, has reportedly failed to provide requested information to Jamaica's Financial Services Commission, and has not repaid investors, as was promised by 31 March. A solicitor for Cash Plus has advised government regulators that it does not have the funds to commence repayment of principal and interest owed to its investors.

There are believed to be more than 40,000 Jamaican investors in Cash Plus, with outstanding 'loans" totalling more than JMD$4bn (USD$56m). Cash Plus has not as yet filed an application to register its investments with the Financial Services Commission, which has held them to be investments, thus requiring registration.

An application by Cash Plus to appoint a temporary manager to supervise the process of funds disbursement is due to be heard by the Supreme Court of Jamaica today. Whether the company will go into receivership is not known at this time. Was it merely a glorified Ponzi scheme? We cannot say, but World-Check continues to monitor all developments as they occur.
