RE:Anyone know if Western Ivey Can't answer for MBA but Seto is a CPA (formerly CMA in 1999 per Spectral) now. And yes ethics courses are required from time to time when you hold a CPA in addition to acting ethically per professional rules while you are a CPA. Not sure of IIROC requires ethics training or adherence as part of working at an investment bank.
Speaking of which I am perplexed about Paradigm. Facts - you put forward market research in April 2019 ascribing a value of $2.00 per share, then revise that to $4.00 per share in Feb 2020, then do a private placement of shares for the same company at $0.60 per share in June 2020, then revise your ascribed value to $3.20 per share after that (can't remember the date) and now do a bought deal at $0.40 per share. No further revision as far as I know so $3.20 still stands. I always thought that when an investment dealer did research and tells the public what they think the company is worth then that's actually what they think it's worth. Is that wrong?
If not wrong then are you misleading the public with your researched value and potentially having them buy based on that value only to lead an equity issue at 15% or less of your published value? I am asking as I am not aware of any rule that absolves this situation. Perhaps there is if someone knows.
