A CEO of a sports car distributor has been fined for false trading. The fine amount is $210,000.

The offender's actions were motivated by a desire to create the appearance of trading activity in the company's shares. This was done to address concerns about the share counter's inactivity.

Further details about the case are available from the source, including the specific actions taken by the CEO to create "blips" in the price chart and show trading activity.
