Abstract

The document contains a commentary on the wider issues of responsibility raised by the collapse of First Solution Money Transfer. This was a UK based private limited company which provided a money transfer service, providing expatriates the facilities to transfer money back to their family in Bangladesh. In June 2007, the company went into liquidation owing nearly 2 million pounds to the public, the majority of whom were from the Sylhet region of Bangladesh.
