Bloomberg, May 22 — Anthony Scaramucci’s flagship SkyBridge Opportunity Fund has posted back-to-back quarterly losses, driven by its heavy cryptocurrency-related asset holdings, according to data. The fund manages roughly $1.3 billion in assets under management (AUM), with 64% allocated to digital and crypto-focused investments, including crypto hedge funds, Bitcoin investment vehicles, and private crypto companies.

The circular follows an SFC review of account-opening practices at 12 securities brokers, which identified key deficiencies: insufficient due diligence on account opening documents, acceptance of suspicious or forged paperwork during the account setup process, and weaknesses in managing cross-border agency relationships with overseas intermediaries. The SFC expressed deep concern that customer accounts could be improperly used for suspicious or unlawful transactions, thereby raising money laundering and terrorist financing risks.
