The scheme enabled people to use their superannuation savings to buy a home, ASIC said.
Further, Superfunded did not have the appropriate licenses to provide financial services or engage in credit activities.
“ASIC found Mr Goldenberg had been involved in a contravention of financial services legislation and is not adequately trained, or competent, to provide financial services as he demonstrated a lack of professionalism, integrity, judgement, knowledge and diligence,” ASIC said in a statement.
“As a result, ASIC has found Mr Goldenberg is likely to contravene financial services law again.
“ASIC also determined that Mr Goldenberg had been involved in a contravention of credit legislation and is not a fit and proper person to engage in credit activities, as his conduct does not match the attributes demanded of a person engaging in credit activities.
“ASIC determined that as a result of his conduct, Mr Goldenberg is likely to contravene credit legislation.”
