A pity that his account is private, otherwise you would not ask that.

He has real sources. The end result I think is the same that i am hearing, just not the means of getting there. I don't think MFF Will be back as is. The reason is, US and Canada will not allow it, even if some magical outcome occurred.

If he gets to keep a small fortune and not continue (non-US revenue?), I suspect he'll snatch their hand off.

I think you're assumption is incorrect. Its a case of being cornered and having very few options.

{quote} Give what we are seeing re: US, he is probably right. If I was in MFF's position I wouldn't want to come back anymore providing an amicable settlement could be achieved.
Realistically what would that settlement look like?

Fine payed + funds released + inhouse broker ok w/ RFED registration (20M capital requirement) + CFDs dropped in US + RFED & CFD requirements applied to all other FX props... the capital requirements alone would clear the entire field in US/Can other than MFF & FTMO.

If people are still buying bespoke,cashflow and deifunded accounts you do not get sympathy from me. Stop buying scam accounts.

I have no idea, I dont know how much chargebacks were issued etc. If it is 12 million as the court requested frozen + refunds, then my guess is there are more than 12 million in chargebacks so then there would be some discount. I am really not sure and because the prima facie ruling was so copy paste from both sides requests it doesnt really make sense in terms of guidance. It could be 0 it could 100 I have no idea. The only thing that has been made evidently clear from this case is that the CFTC wants nothing to do with the evaluation prop firms.

I wont believe that until I see CFTC action with US based Futures props playing the exact same game.

I may be wrong but I thought the 12M = current live trader fees payed + payouts owed?

There is 0% chance that MFF will pay the payouts owed. Even if it was on a-book.

They closed all props today.

Edit: for clarity, they seem to be letting props migrate the accounts.

-Yeah, and even if they could, they would probably have to start over with an entirely new platform unless someone has been working on a solution behind the scenes.

For MFF, with their own servers and established systems etc., that would probably be a lot of work and testing, all without traders to stress-test. Any return to this space under the same brand would likely need to be able to handle a massive influx of traders. The headache of all of that could probably discourage the best of us.

I do not see it happening, though. Maybe we can see a push to some jurisdictional safe-haven, where firms can operate without Meta, but their aren't any pioneers in this space that would probably even consider it.

They have access to a lot of technology that others do not (I helped with some of it). But having the permanent spot light on you likely isn't something anyone would want to live through. There are a few discussions of ex- MFF staff talking about some technology now but mostly the discussions are around not wanting to get involved in the prop/eval space until regulators provide clarity.

There are talks of UK and Aus regulators also swinging an Axe shortly.
