Black Cat gains orders against Barclays Capital in market manipulation probe
Black Cat Syndicate is hunting traders suspected of manipulating its stock by repeatedly bidding below the gold miner's share price.
The West Perth-based company gained orders from the WA Supreme Court on Monday requiring stockbroker Barclays Capital Asia to hand over the records of clients who have made and then cancelled orders for 100,000-plus Black Cat shares.
While Barclays Capital is not suspected of any wrongdoing, Black Cat is expected to gain sensitive client information from the broker as part of an investigation into suspected market manipulation.
