Original FPA Traders Court Submission:

I am submitting the case against: www.forexct.com.au/

My Case is: ForexCT block my account from 6 March. They do not allow me to do any activities in my account including withdrawal money. They hold all of my money now.

I kept depositing money to my account. Here are the details:
DEC 2013: US92000
JAN 2014: US15000
FEB 2014: US73000

I kept losing money with total USD120K from Dec to Feb. I only made one trade on March and won around USD48K but suddenly they blocked my account on the next day.

They sent me an e-mail that they have to investigate my account for 30 business days. And they didn’t provide any evidences support for investigation. I asked for my statements but they didn’t reply or answer any of my requests.

"Investigating Unusual Transactions on the account"

It looks to me that they just see the transaction history as unusual and have put the account on hold to investigate possible money laundering? Are there also regular withdrawals from the account that has been frozen?
They have no reason to suspend the account and keep the money while they are making money and the client keeps making regular deposits so I do see it as a genuine investigation at this stage.
