Hopkins, a former Victorian-based finance broker, arranged finance for consumers buying vehicles from Combined Motor Traders, a Cranbourne used-car dealership, between 2014 and 2015, ASIC said. It said Hopkins "knowingly provided false information to Esanda, a division of ANZ, in support of car finance applications for nine of his clients.
