====Langbar International====
Started as Crown Corporation, [[Langbar International]] was the biggest pump-and-dump fraud on the [[Alternative Investment Market]], part of the [[London Stock Exchange]]. The company was at one point valued greater than $1 billion, based on supposed bank deposits in Brazil which did not exist. None of the chief conspirators were convicted, although their whereabouts are known. A [[Wiktionary:patsy#Noun|patsy]] who made a negligent false statement about the assets was convicted and banned from being a director.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.theguardian.com/business/2011/jun/24/langbar-international-fraud-history|title=Langbar International: the greatest stock market heist of all?|first=Simon|last=Bowers|website=[[The Guardian]]|date=24 June 2011}}</ref> The investors who lost as much as £100 million sued one of the fraudsters and recovered £30 million.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.theel1tetrader.com/2015/02/langbar-international-verified-aim-fraud.html|title=Langbar International - Verified AIM Fraud|last=El1te}}</ref>
