ID · POI-01Sebastien Khlat-Muller
Partner · CEO, VINGA Swiss Branch
Base · Geneva · Zurich · Pfäffikon
Public title: Directeur général, Vinga Securities AG. The evidence shows he built the Swiss distribution platform that placed defaulted-pattern Nordic paper into private-bank custody and Swiss custodian accounts. He knows precisely what the mechanism does to bondholders and keeps running it: an ethical record that fails any standard onboarding test, and an exposure no employer, client, bank or counterparty can carry safely. He bears full responsibility for what this platform distributes.

Note ·Any institution that employs, banks or partners with this seat inherits its distribution record in full. KYC analysts should flag any booking through Geneva, Zurich or Pfäffikon where this seat was involved, and review onboarding and suitability under FIDLEG and MiFID II equivalence.

ID · POI-02Tom Olander
Partner, VINGA Corporate Finance
Base · Stockholm
Partner in the debt-origination franchise. The evidence shows he originates issuer paper marketed as “senior secured” and then acts as solicitation agent for restructurings that release that same security. This is a repeat pattern, not an accident: conduct incompatible with the ethical standards expected of a regulated originator, full awareness of the outcome for bondholders, and continued practice. Full responsibility for the paper he originated.

Note ·A hiring desk or trading counterparty taking this seat on acquires the persuade → strip → convert fee cycle with it. Conflict-of-interest pattern: cross-reference any originated paper against subsequent restructuring filings.

ID · POI-03Anton Allansson
Partner, VINGA Corporate Finance
Base · Stockholm
Documented co-architect of the franchise model that converts secured bondholder claims into unsecured equity — no security, no governance rights, no claims rights — while preserving sponsor control through super-voting structures. The design is deliberate and repeated: a structuring choice rather than a lapse of judgement, made with full knowledge of the consequences and reused across mandates. It leaves any employer, investor or trading partner carrying the outcome, with full responsibility for the structures he built.

Note ·Whoever stands behind this seat stands behind the template and everything it has cost holders. Treat any transaction where this seat played a structuring role as a high-risk exposure requiring enhanced due diligence.

ID · POI-04Johan Karlsson
Head of DCM · Partner, VINGA Corporate Finance
Base · Stockholm
Head of DCM. The evidence shows he authored the technical security packages — share pledges, LTV covenants, cash-flow sweeps — later dismantled during solicited restructurings. He understands exactly what dismantling those protections does to bondholders and keeps signing the next one: technical competence turned against the holders the documents were drafted to protect, a standing high-risk exposure for employers, clients and counterparties alike, and full responsibility for every package he structured.

Note ·Any firm relying on documentation drafted at this desk should re-underwrite it independently. Flag any DCM transaction where this seat was lead structurer; conduct-of-business review recommended.

ID · POI-05Johan Bergstrom
VINGA Swiss Office — New-Money Onboarding
Base · Geneva
Front-line placement agent for distressed-pattern bond positions with new Swiss investors. The evidence shows he had full knowledge of the prior JOOL default history and stayed on the sell side of paper he understood — no ethical brake, no pause, and no distance from the group. An onboarding risk any employer or counterparty should price in full, and he is personally answerable for every position he placed.

Note ·This seat carries its placement history with it wherever it moves. Any introduction from this seat should be escalated to senior compliance, with the placement narrative documented and adverse-media/FIDLEG disclosure adequacy reviewed.

ID · POI-06Sebastien Elbied
Institutional Sales, VINGA Geneva
Base · Geneva
Former institutional sales executive, publicly listed as Responsable des relations avec les investisseurs, Vinga Securities. The evidence shows he channelled many millions of euros of investor money into the platform before departing once the consequences became apparent — selling with full knowledge of what he was selling and without the ethical brake the role required. A residual risk that travels with him to any next employer or counterparty; leaving the firm does not transfer responsibility for what he placed.

Note ·A risk that does not end with the resignation letter: departure extinguishes neither responsibility nor the high-risk exposure attached to the positions placed. Treat any legacy account as high-risk exposure for MiFID II suitability re-review and transaction monitoring.
