Very good info!!! KC

No- they were a sub-agent. Just made a normal withdrawal to close my account. But that was before there were any issues.

I met with SL about a year ago, with Istvan from Capital Controls, a sub-agent. After seeing the office, and the people, I got my money out.

Guys- there is no money to give back!!!! People who have accessed their accounts see less than a $100 in them. They lost the money trading, and used a ponzi scheme to keep it going. Of course they skimmed a bunch for themselves, but IMHO they lost most of it trading cause they were not...

The Court does not post any identifying information. But if you know what you are looking for, you can get the info.

One more thing- NEVER does the trader (EG) have the ability to withdraw client funds, in standard legal FX managed trading. Who authorized the w/d? Did the PoA allow for it?

I think that this provides very clear insight to what was going on. As I suspected, they were trading, but were terrible at it. At one point they might even had made money (even a blind squirrel may find an acorn!), but they lost, and then lost some more- and to keep it going, and probably with...

Sorry- but who is UT?

With DED shutting them down, they will have big trouble banking. I believe they started with good intentions- and probably even were legit at some point, but only the very best of the very best can consistently make good returns, and the Achilles heel of forex trading is that with the...

I did ask. Response was usual mumbo jumbo. If they were able to get those type of results, the family offices in the region would be all over it! And none of the restrictions would need to be in place. In terms of performance, it is not hard for VERY EXPERIENCED PROFESSIONALS to provide...

More from ESCA Dear KC, with reference to your filed complaint against Exential group, SCA regret to tell you that this company and the FOREX trading activity at issue are out of SCA jurisdiction. Thus, SCA has taken its necessary measures and has informed all relevant concerned authorities (...
