CFTC Sanctioned Over Misconduct in ‘My Forex Funds’ Case
A controversial turn in regulatory affairs unfolded when a U.S. federal judge dismissed the CFTC’s 2023 lawsuit against Traders Global Group, better known in the forex community as My Forex Funds. The court not only dismissed the case but issued a stinging rebuke of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission’s behavior, accusing it of bad faith, misinformation, and a failure to disclose key details. As a result, the agency has been sanctioned and ordered to pay legal fees. This ruling has sent shockwaves through the financial regulatory landscape, sparking debate over accountability and fairness in how prop firms are scrutinized. For forex traders, especially those in funded trading programs, this decision could reshape how such firms are perceived and regulated moving forward.
