Broker in free money scheme gets the chop

Article Abstract:

Irish and European Securities, a stockbroking company based in Dublin, Ireland, has been shut down by Central Bank of Ireland. The company sold shares in Telecom Credit Europe (TCE) which later changed its name to Meteor Technology. TCE was set up in 1995 and aimed to install credit card phones, but the phones did not work. This meant that TCE needed more funds. Irish and European Securities used cold calling methods to contact small investors in Ireland recommending the shares. Some 320,000 pounds sterling could have been generated from the Irish operation.
