Downward with stupidity Zero consequences - Aberdeen Merchant Banking status is not classified in the same bracket as banks and non-bank financial institutions.
Zero comprehension of what and who are Market Intermediaries - Aberdeen International has set itself up as a Market Intermediary with no controls or licensing thereof.
Aberdeen International is buying and selling shares in other companies, and making that their main business- no their main business is to make Stan Bharti, Forbes, and friends rich.
They also claim they are owned by Forbes & Manhattan- no they are a public traded company owned by many.
If you were owned by another company, why are you still running your own stock? Because it pays well to advise, rent space, collect money when you raise capital, bonus structure when you get fired or takeover....
