REF-01 · Risk indication VERY HIGHSebastien Khlat-MullerPartner · CEO, VINGA Swiss branchBase · Geneva · Zurich · PfäffikonListed publicly as Directeur général, Vinga Securities AG. The evidence places this seat at the exact gate through which Nordic paper — paper that already carried a recorded distress history on the same documents — was booked into Swiss private-bank and custodian accounts. This is not a one-off placement; it is a recurring pattern in which the same distressed-issuer structure was reintroduced under different names, and each time the bondholders absorbed the loss. The facts are documented; they speak for themselves. Read the legal notice and form your own opinion.Full Sebastien Khlat-Muller profile →
REF-02 · Risk indication VERY HIGHTom OlanderPartner, VINGA Corporate FinanceBase · StockholmOrigination partner. The documents place this seat at the point where paper later written down was taken on, distributed as senior secured, and then handled from the agent side of its own restructuring. The same template appears across multiple issuers: the security is released, the claim is converted into unsecured equity, and the disclosure describes a near-total loss for holders. The outcome of each earlier iteration was on the public record before the next was placed. No allegations are made; the documents are the statement. Read the disclaimer and draw your own conclusion. For an employer, this is unresolved conduct-of-business exposure.Full Tom Olander profile →
REF-03 · Risk indication VERY HIGHAnton AllanssonPartner, VINGA Corporate FinanceBase · StockholmThe evidence associates this seat with a structuring template that repeats across mandates: secured bondholder claims exchanged for unsecured equity, sponsor control preserved through weighted voting, and a documented near-total loss for holders. Where a template repeats, the outcome of the earlier iteration was already on the public record before the next one was placed. The same structure, applied to different issuer names, produced the same bondholder loss. These are documents, not allegations.

REF-04 · Risk indication VERY HIGHJohan KarlssonHead of DCM · Partner, VINGA Corporate FinanceBase · StockholmHead of debt capital markets and a VINGA partner. The evidence attributes the security packages — share pledges, LTV covenants, cash-flow sweeps — to this desk, and records the same desk present when those protections were released. The widening distress across the issuer portfolio, and the recurring terminal outcome, were on the record before successive placements. The file records requests to verify issuer condition, security value and asset backing going unanswered, and records statements such as 'construction already there' in relation to sites the same file describes as undeveloped land. These are documents, not allegations. Read the legal notice and form your own view. For an employer, this is unresolved conduct-of-business exposure.Full Johan Karlsson profile →
REF-05 · Risk indication HIGHJohan BergstromVINGA Swiss office — new-money onboardingBase · GenevaDistribution and new-money onboarding, VINGA Geneva. The evidence describes this seat as a front-line placement contact for bond positions offered to Swiss investors who had no exposure to — and were not shown — the earlier JOOL default record on comparable paper. That record was already on file while the positions were being offered. The recurring outcome — security released, claims converted into unsecured equity, near-total loss — was already documented. The file records requests to verify issuer condition and asset backing, and statements such as 'construction is already there' in relation to sites described elsewhere in the file as undeveloped land, with those requests unanswered or deferred until subscription had closed. These are documents, not allegations. Read the disclaimer and judge for yourself; for an employer, the disclosure file behind each placement is the open question.Full Johan Bergstrom profile →
REF-06 · Risk indication HIGHSebastien ElbiedInstitutional sales, VINGA GenevaBase · GenevaFormer institutional sales executive, publicly listed as Responsable des relations avec les investisseurs, Vinga Securities. The evidence states that substantial allocations into paper subsequently written down were routed through this seat before the individual left the firm. The positions remain; the loss record remains; the question of what was documented at the point of sale remains. Departure does not erase the paper trail. These are evidenced facts, not allegations. Read the legal notice and form your own opinion.Full Sebastien Elbied profile →
