NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Bragar Eagel & Squire, P.C. is investigating potential claims against FXCM Inc. (NASDAQ:FXCM) concerning possible violations of the federal securities laws.
On February 6, 2017, the Commodities Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”) found that FXCM was engaged in false and misleading solicitations of its retail foreign exchange customers by taking positions opposite to them. As a result, the CFTC banned FXCM from operating in the United States and imposed a $7 million fine on the Company. The CFTC revealed that from 2009 through at least 2014, FXCM “engaged in false and misleading solicitations of FXCM’s retail foreign exchange (forex) customers by concealing its relationship with its most important market maker and by misrepresenting that its ‘No Dealing Desk’ platform had no conflicts of interest with its customers.”
Following this news, FXCM shares declined $3.40 per share, or 50%, on February 7, 2017, to close at $3.45.
