The Supreme Court of Western Australia sentenced Chris Marco to 14 years imprisonment on November 5, 2025, after a jury convicted him on September 4, 2025, of 43 fraud counts involving $34.3 million from six investors between July 2013 and October 2018. ASIC had charged Marco with defrauding nine investors of $36.5 million; his former assistant Linda Marissen was acquitted. The sentence follows a 2020 Federal Court ruling winding up Marco’s unregistered managed investment scheme and permanently barring him from unlicensed financial services.
