Ólöf Nordal and her husband, Tómas Már Sigurdsson, a senior executive with American aluminum company Alcoa, controlled Dooley Securities SA when they obtained power of attorney privileges in November 2006. Shares in the company, registered in the British Virgin Islands, were held in the name of a Luxembourg unit of Landsbanki, one of the big Icelandic banks at the center of the country's financial crisis that began in 2008. In August 2007, Sigurdsson pledged Dooley’s shares in an agreement with Landsbanki, which collapsed a little more than a year later.Response
Nordal's husband Sigurdsson said the company was created to hold proceeds from his Alcoa stock options, but they were never exercised and no funds were transferred to the company. He said that neither he nor his wife were shareholders in Dooley Securities. "We do not own and have never owned any offshore companies."
