Ex-DBS trader charged for spoofing securities market

He pleaded guilty to eight of 23 charges against him.

According to a report from Bloomberg, a former trader at DBS Group Holdings Ltd’s brokerage unit on Friday was convicted by a Singapore court for spoofing the securities market in the first case brought jointly by the country’s regulator and white-collar crime police.

Dennis Tey Thean Yang, 33, pleaded guilty to eight of the 23 charges he faced related to his attempt to artificially move prices through fraudulent securities orders. A broker at DBS Vickers Securities (Singapore) Pte when the offenses were committed in late 2012 and 2013, Tey was also charged with misusing other people’s trading accounts without consent.
