The former chief executive of a failed investment firm has been given just over two weeks to pay a record 76m fine by the City regulator.
The Financial Conduct Authority formally imposed the huge fine on Stewart Ford yesterday over his role in one of the UKs largest investment scandals. He must find the funds to pay the penalty in full by 1 February.
