FXCM owed $225 million by customers who lost on CHF

We are actively discussing alternatives to return our capital to levels prior to today's events and discussing the matter with our regulators.

No one is going to invest money with them and expect to recover that $220MM short fall nor can they issue stock with their current balance sheet to raise the needed capital. They're gone.

November's CFTC reports only had them at $46MM net cap.
 
Halted since this morning. I would have bought some shares...im sure they will get some rescue money...isn't that how every one gets saved now on wallstreet...

It depends on the terms of the deal. You would think that Jefferies would be in a position of power to buy new equity at a low (<$1) price. But strange things can happen, especially since the stock is due for a dead cat bounce.
 
I'd buy some. They made tons of profit from chf. People would be brain dead to not lend them some money to temporarily cover their regulatory requirements.


You f***ing idiot. They're bust. They are out $225MM NET. Yeah, it's only temporary until someone gifts them $200MM.
