(ii) Enrico is a mature age student who is half way through his Accounting Diploma course. He has let members of his soccer club believe that he is a qualified accountant and financial adviser. One month before the collapse of One-Up, an internet company, Enrico advised club members to buy every One-Up share they could. Neither he nor the members knew that most financial advisers had warned that One-Up was badly managed for some time. Several club members have lost a large sum of money because they followed Enrico's advice.
