Public Statement 21 of 2024 - Robert Rekis (2024-12-09)

Summary

This is a public warning notice issued by the British Virgin Islands Financial Services Commission (FSC) under Section 37A of the Financial Services Commission Act, 2001. It alerts the public that a forged investment business licence is circulating which falsely claims that Robert Rekis is licensed and regulated by the FSC to carry on investment business (dealing in investments and arranging deals in investments) in or from the BVI.

• Forged document: A forged investment business licence purporting to authorise Robert Rekis to conduct investment business in the BVI is being circulated.
• Clarification: Robert Rekis has never been licensed or regulated by the FSC to carry on investment business or any other financial services business in or from the BVI.
• Public advisory: Members of the public are urged to exercise extreme caution if solicited to conduct business with Robert Rekis on the claimed basis of FSC licensing or regulation.
• Reporting invitation: The FSC invites the public to report any information about questionable entities purportedly operating in or from the BVI, or improper activities by such entities.

This is a purely informational public statement with no continuing compliance requirements for regulated entities; it exists to warn consumers and the industry about a fraudulent licence and an unlicensed individual.
