Virgin Australia bondholders have put forward a recapitalisation proposal for the struggling airline, seeking to knock out rival offers from two US private equity firms. The proposal was lodged with Virgin's administrator, a spokesman for the bondholders said on Wednesday, two days after Bain Capital and Cyrus Capital Partners made final and binding offers for the airline. The proposal involves a debt-to-equity swap among bondholders owed around $2 billion plus a fresh capital injection of around $1 billion.

ASIC has noted an increase in the number of investment scam reports from Australian consumers and investors during the COVID-19 crisis. From March to May 2020, the reports of misconduct have gone up by 20% as compared to the previous corresponding period. The growth in the scam was associated with crypto-assets, term deposits, investments and scams that begin through romance sites.
