Marion Joan Pearson

Marion Joan Pearson is a former financial adviser from Perth who has been in the news for failing to stop her extradition to Australia to face 136 charges related to financial misconduct. Pearson, who worked at Ballast Financial Management and was the director of Colisa trading as Anmar Financial Consultants, was permanently banned by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) in 2015 for engaging in dishonest and misleading conduct in her financial advisory role. Her actions included creating false documents and misleading clients about the handling of their funds. After her ban, she relocated to New Zealand, where she has been fighting against extradition and seeking name suppression in court.
