FCA Whistleblower Fights Unfair Dismissal After Raising Concerns
London, UK – A former FCA Risk Manager who blew the whistle to the UK’s
financial
regulatory in 2017 about peer-to-peer lending firms overcharging customers, as
well as warning the City watchdog in the runup to the 2008 financial crash that banks
and financial institutions were undercapitalised, is taking the Financial Conduct Authority
to court alleging that the FCA had unfairly fired him for raising concerns.
Walker Sigismund reportedly made 27 disclosures to the UK regulator about his
concerns before being fired by the FCA in 2018. The case continues at the East London
Employment Tribunal 3200833/2019 Mr W Sigismund v Bank of England and Financial Conduct
Authority.
