Hang Seng Employee Receives Five Month Securities Industry Ban by Philip Morton, Investors Offshore 30 August 2007 It emerged last week that a Hang Seng Bank employee has been banned from re-entering the securities industry for five months, for accepting and mishandling investment order and time deposit forms signed by clients but left blank. Hung Sum-yee was engaged by the bank to deal in and advise on securities, and provide automated trading services.
