Selling NexGen, Current Holdings and Learning from Mining Scams with Fund Manager Warren Irwin
Seasoned resource fund manager Warren Irwin returns to MSE to talk mining scams: “There really is no penalties for scamming people in Canada in the mining sector. I cannot think of a single person that has done any jailtime. They may get fines or slap on the wrist or not being allowed to be a director or whatever. If you are into organized crime, get into the mining business because there is no penalties and there is lots of money to be made.”
