{quote} I'm going to start with FXIFY and the 5%ers high stakes. The 5%ers has had a regulatory statement on their site for years, stating they comply and can produce such documentation to any agency. The smart thing to do is small challenge and reinvest some into bigger challenges. All profits beyond that are going into my AMP account.

FXIFY? never heard, can you explain? should I study them?

There are some proper deadshit takes in this thread. Time to go watch tv. Police? Bro the regulator has frozen them. You call some nobody cop down at the local shop what you think they are going to do whilst the behemoth regulator is holding onto them? Joe down the local station he is gonna save you. I think its time we all accept that the internet is just full of absolute idiots. Regulators freeze companies due to operational activities, things the business carried out. Sometimes freezes are just "stop what you are doing and tell us what you are...
Two thoughts on this:
1/ AFAIK we only have a statement from MFF and nothing from independent/official sources. So right now it looks exactly as TPT did.
2/ How sure are you that the government wants to settle and not make an example of? Because in the latter case this won't be resolved soon.

https://www.sec.gov/news/press-release/2023-154 This is interesting: The final rule will become effective 60 days after the date of publication of the adopting release in the Federal Register. The compliance date will be 365 days from the date of publication of the adopting release in the Federal Register.
That applies to traditional prop firms, not this space.

they just started may this year. supposed to be best newcomer prop according to may survey, made my first withdrawal very fast. they have no major scandals so far aside from the common 1 star reviews on trustpilot due to slow/bad customer service.

{quote} Some central banks have some kind of public notes on a daily basis in their sites informing about entities that had their activities suspended/revoked or warnings about entities X or Y not allowed to operate, etc. Not sure if market regulators have some sort of thing like those. That's the only think I would expect to see (if they exist), not the entire court petition or anything else, of course.
The CFTC, NFA, and SEC all have websites listing their enforcement actions.

Yes I know, what I found interesting was the timescale, sorry I should have been clearer. Assuming MFF has the option of modifying their business, as opposed to shutting down, might they have a year to meet compliance, i.e. unlikely to be resolved in a few weeks/months.

Nothing is wrong with electric cars, if that's your thing, other than being FORCED to buy one.

{quote} Your local police department is not going to get involved with something the largest regulatory in the world is already investigating.......are you people being for real here?
The problem is: are you sure that MFF freezes because the largest regulatory is investigating them? Can you find any info that regulators issued? What if MFF owners fabricated the investigation and flee with 100 million dollars coming from customers?

It's still nothing Joe down at the local police HQ is going to handle.

-Those that make themselves publicly-known and visible are not usually the type to exit-scam. The firms that are operating mostly anonymously are generally the ones that you have to worry about. Also, firms that legitimately fail should not be equated to those that set out to scam people.

I believe that MFF will sort out their problems, eventually. Certainly, out of all of the firms, MFF would be the last firm that I would expect to scam people. There may be some changes that have to occur, maybe even some bigger ones, but any delays should only be temporary.

If I am wrong about that, then I do believe that they would consider relocating in order to continue operations on some level, simply because they have invested too much time and money into their current ventures and they have seen great success from that. Time will tell, but panic and wild speculation is unnecessary, in my opinion.

A public person doing a rug pull of this size would get life in prison and be found really easily. MFF is/was a 400m + company.

{quote} This is a serious claim. On what basis are you saying this? Do you have any evidence? I'm curious, to be honest.

mff placed a message on 25 august about cheaters active with oil trading. And due that mff lost its good position with their liquidity provider (claim of mff). Because this message is couple of days ago it could be related to what is now happening. And what are "cheaters"? Apparently something went on that caused mff to loose trades.

The good thing about MFF having made so much money is that a good chunk of monies invested by traders in challenges maybe recoverable and maybe the fees can be at least partially refunded. Of course va bunch of luxury items and properties have to be sold off first.

The regulators may decide to appropriate all the money into some anti Ponzi investigation fund or find a way to make it all disappear into government coffers.
Knowing how class action suit is prevalent in US, someone may organize a movement. If the records are well kept and not destroyed, it'll be obvious who sent MFF money and who received money. I'm sure it will be a colossal mess for years to come.
