Release of buyback escrow under the exceptions to Regulation 15B(8) does not bar an independent fraud inquiry under the PFUTP Regulations, because the provision concerns escrow forfeiture or release rather than whether fraud occurred. Internal departmental file notings remain non-binding unless converted into and communicated as a final decision of the competent authority.

The fraud allegation was remanded for fresh adjudication after examination of trading-data discrepancies, inconsistent investigation reports and corroborative material; the appeals were partly allowed.
