The Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) of Hong Kong conducted searches at the offices of two finance firms, Alto Capital and Oriental Patron Financial Group, as part of an investigation into potential misconduct related to Nasdaq listings. This action follows the arrest of two individuals linked to these firms on charges of conspiracy to defraud.
