The legal fallout from the implosion of Stocks and Securities Limited (SSL) has escalated, with prosecutors formally charging three past executives of the firm.
Those named are SSL’s founder, Hugh Croskery; his daughter, Sarah Meany; and former director Zachary Harding, who served on the company’s board between 2019 and 2022. The trio is accused of a range of offences tied to the firm’s operations prior to its collapse.
According to investigators, the charges span several statutes and include allegations of misleading individuals into placing funds with the company, operating a securities business without the required regulatory approvals, and failing to properly register both the company and its securities. Authorities have also cited alleged breaches of banking and larceny laws, signalling the seriousness of the case being built.
Croskery has since been granted bail in the sum of J$1 million and is scheduled to return to court on January 26, 2026. He is being defended by King’s Counsel Peter Champagnie, alongside attorney Samoi Campbell.
Through his legal team, Croskery has rejected the allegations, maintaining that he has committed no offence and has cooperated with investigators throughout the probe. His attorneys have cautioned against premature judgment, stressing that the issues will ultimately be resolved through the judicial process.
