Australia’s ASIC sues InterPrac over $677M in losses from two collapsed super funds due to poor oversight and misconduct.
InterPrac, a financial services company, is facing a major lawsuit from Australia’s ASIC over allegations it failed to properly supervise its representatives who steered about $677 million into two collapsed super funds, Shield Master and First Guardian, which lost investor money due to high fees, unclear investments, and nearly $20 million in payments to Ferras Merhi and his firm, Venture Egg.
ASIC accuses InterPrac of allowing “negative consent” practices and permitting Merhi to remain authorized until May 2025 despite red flags, calling the misconduct “industrial-scale” and involving over 40 investigators.
The parent company, Sequoia Financial Group, denies wrongdoing and plans to defend the case.
ASIC is also taking legal action against other firms and Merhi personally.
Investors are advised to contact liquidators or the Australian Financial Complaints Authority.
The case will return to the Federal Court later.
