FSRA alleges that Wang contravened the Act by dealing in mortgages for remuneration while unlicensed contrary to subsection 2(3) of the Act.

FSRA is proposing to impose administrative penalties in the total amount of $440,000 against Liang, $290,000 against Shi. Liang and Shi have requested a hearing before the Financial Services Tribunal about this proposal.
