Original FPA Traders Court Submission:
I am submitting the case against: www.Universal-fx.com
My Case is: 9 weeks ago today I asked to withdraw my $57,100 from this broker. They have not sent my money.
I have fully looked into this company and my findings are this:
They have 4 registered companies:
1. Universal Investments GMbH - Blacklisted by FINMA in Switzerland (closed)
2. Universal Investments - Registered in the BVI but not licensed to Trade FX (confirmed with the Bvifsc.org
3. Universal Investments - Registered in London but not licensed by the FSA in the UK
4. Satellite company - Universal Investments in Switzerland as a satellite company to the London company.
There are 2 owners Fabian & Dominic. They are swiss residents.
I have called them dozens of times only to get their front man - Vladimir (who knows nothing or claims to) always says they are not in.
Originally I funded them from my US Broker ILQ with a broker to broker transfer. (No problem for them to receive the money)

This is the account!
Then I asked to send my money to my personal bank in California - they said we dont want to sent to a US bank. So then I asked to send that money back to where it came from (ILQ) - they said no problem.
its been 9 weeks. I have been in close contact with ILQ and their bank Citibank to located any missing money from Universal - no trace of it anywhere.
I have asked Universal to prove they sent the money with a Wire Trace - they have not provided that and continue to give me the run around.
They have told me that if I report it to the FPA they will make legal action against me.
So now I have had enough and exposing the facts about Universal-fx.com and any institution that does business with these 2 very young men will soon stop.

Hi Nick,
I heard from some clients and partners that you speak bad about Universal FX. This is against any law and our terms & conditions. Please stop this, we will forward any communication from you against our company to our lawyers and district court of Bülach.
We are a serious company and we don’t do this type of business like you think.
Universal FX already offered you some other ways how we can move forward on this. But instead of moving forward, you write around that we don’t pay you out?
So please remove your posts and bad rumors about Universal FX, then we can send you the money again (to your personal bank account and not ILQ!) if you sign that you maybe need to return the funds when we find the lost money.
So we give you different possibility how we can find a solution on this. I am sorry to hear these things from you, especially because I setup everything with FCStone and First Derivatives for you ...
Best Regards,
Fabian Gaspar
