One of the things that has always puzzled and dismayed me about the miserable London Capital & Financial (LCF) debacle is: where were the whistleblowers?

The website infrastructure supplier for the Financial Conduct Authority is having technical issues, leaving the regulator unable to update its website.

The FCA has scrapped performance-related pay and bonuses for senior FCA executives and is to cut average salaries for executive committee members this year following the £236m collapse of mini-bond provider London Capital & Finance.

The Financial Services Compensation Scheme reported today that it has paid out just over £56.3m in compensation to 2,878 customers of collapsed mini-bond firm London Capital & Finance (LCF).
