In January 2009, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission halted trading on Future Canada China Environment, which has ties to Kyaw Myint, after its stock market value soared to over $1 billion USD. In 2011, the British Columbia Securities Commission permanently banned Kyaw Myint from participating in British Columbia's securities markets and fined him for illegal insider trading and perjury, for using insider knowledge to buy shares in Maple Leaf Reforestation, and for lying to investigators.
