A Tiger by the Tail the Story Behind the Fedbond Saga – Eunice Afonso

Description

An extract from the book reads:

John Field quietly placed the phone back onto the receiver. He wasn’t sure if the conversation should have been over yet, but the ominous voice on the other end of the line had long since trailed off. John leaned back into his leather chair with his mind in turmoil, struggling to come to grips with the single phrase reverberating in his head: “The Scorpions are coming!”

A vengeful rumour of the imminent collapse of Fedbond, John’s R1.6 billion partbond company, reaches the offices of the Financial Services Board (FSB), the financial industry regulator, who decide to intervene. John is astonished to hear that the FSB wants Fedbond to be placed under curatorship, a much-maligned remedy that has killed more companies than it has cured.

And so begins John’s four-year battle with the financial industry’s watchdog (the Financial Services Board – FSB) to retain control of his R1,6 billion rand participation bond company, Fedbond, and protect his investors’ money.
