Controversies

Email fraud

In December 2017, Gaw Capital transferred HK$39 million ($5 million) from a client's bank account to the bank account of a fraudster.[22] The fraudster posed as a client and sent instructions to the firm for the withdrawal of funds.[22] The firm discovered what had happened after the actual client contacted it.[22] A spokesperson for Gaw Capital stated the bank account in question was frozen and most of the funds transferred were retrieved.[22]

Lawsuit over The Standard High Line hotel

In November 2017, Gaw Capital acquired The Standard High Line hotel in New York for $323 million.[18] In November 2021, Wells Fargo and Apollo Global Management sued Gaw Capital in attempt to foreclose the hotel after the firm failed to make payments on a $170 million loan since May 2020.[19][23] Gaw Capital stated that the fault lied with Apollo Global Management who refused to accept the firm's settlement offer and put financial greed above all the other parties.[19][23]
