FXCM NOTIFICATION: Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP Encourages Investors Who Suffered Losses In Excess Of $100,000 Investing In FXCM Inc. To Contact The Firm

NEW YORK, Feb. 7, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP, a leading national securities law firm, is investigating potential securities fraud at FXCM Inc. ("FXCM" or the "Company") (NASDAQ:FXCM).

The investigation focuses on whether the Company and its executives violated federal securities laws by failing to disclose that FXCM engaged in false and misleading solicitations of its retail foreign exchange customers.

Specifically, on February 6, 2017, the Commodities Futures Trading Commission ("CFTC") charged the Company's Chief Executive Officer Dror Niv and Director William Adhout with "engaging in fraudulent activities with respect to its FXCM's retail customers."  The Company claimed to customers that it used an order execution model that engaged directly in the market without going through a market maker. The CFTC claims that FXCM instead routed orders through market maker Effex Capital LLC, an entity controlled by FXCM, in exchange for kickbacks on profitable trades.  FXCM has been ordered to pay a $7 million fine.
