He must have been immensely proud of seeing this company through to becoming a licensed bank, I too would be shocked to see its shares suspended. With 26 years of service he has probably earned a retirement at least. Thankfully, this company has been solid so I am not too worried. There are other companies out there that I would be very concerned if their talented CEO had resigned after carrying the company on his back. But I believe PCF is a solid business so I do not think we will be too harmed by the departure.
We will simply have to wait and see what the issue is. If it's relating to their financial controls I suspect it may be due to AML checks and customer due diligence, maybe about the know your customer or treating customers fairly principles. It is quite hard to lie about liquidity ratios and I don't think they would have arranged any creative accounting so let's see what the issue is.
