The German financial regulator BaFin has suspended operations at FXdirekt Bank due to insufficient capital after a period of operating losses. The decision follows an exposé revealing the bank's involvement in scamming clients, including the use of delayed feeds for their demo platform to mislead prospective traders. As of December 18th, FXdirekt Bank had total assets of €37.4 million, with €17.2 million in customer funds and 3,200 active traders. The BaFin's actions may be influenced by both financial mismanagement and the bank's alleged fraudulent activities.
