I find it a pity that brokers like Vantage are no longer called out as scam if all evidence confirms that. This would protect many traders from investing in them.

It will take about 20 minutes, but it is worth it to understand the tireless effort that FPA and certain senior members have put into attempting to help legitimate victims.
So you will see that what was done to improve the FPA trader's court over the years is a lot more complex than just a company being

- actively tried to sabotage FPA efforts to collect evidence.
- Rarely acknowledged that it was largely their own choices actually put themselves in the position that they were in.
- Continued later to make a similar mistake with a new
gambling house company.
FPA staff and members can only do so much to help. Especially at no initial cost to the victim.
