Hi thesaint226,
The settlement between FXCM and the CFTC was anticipated and previously disclosed on August 11, 2011, during FXCM’s Second Quarter Earnings Conference Call. At that time, the company established a reserve of $16 million in anticipation of the fines associated with the CFTC ($6 million) and the NFA ($2 million) settlements as well as restitution ($8,261,937) credited to affected clients. To date, the NFA fine has been paid and restitution to affected clients has been credited. The NFA and CFTC fines as well as restitution are all covered under that reserve, resulting in no negative impact to the net income of FXCM Inc.
Our full statement can be found here FXCM US Reaches Settlement with the CFTC for $6 Million

EVERYBODY !!! WHY DOES THE CFTC AND THE NFA TAKE THE MONEY AND WE (THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN SCREWED BY FXCM SEVERAL TIMES) GET NOTHING !!!
WE NEED TO BE RE-IMBURSED - NOT THE CFTC...and NFA...
CAN ANYBODY EXPLAIN THAT TO ME ???
This is the second time that US clients will be compensated...
