Unfortunately, Hillary has misread the accounts of the company, which is almost insolvent. Bill invests his money and Zinc Alloys Ltd immediately goes into liquidation and Bill loses all $200,000. Bill discovers that many financial planners were aware of the poor financial position of the company and warnings had been published in several accounting journals and financial newspapers that Zinc Alloys Ltd was in financial trouble.
