"Exchange"? Good one.
Agree, looks like they are an IB for
"Forex Liquidity LLC", a registered FCM. Why aren't they registered with the CFTC and members of the NFA themselves? (Which would mean that FXLQ is itself in clear violation of the NFA rules.) Especially since SFCE is soliciting managed accounts, as well as regular ones.
Their business address, "655 Montgomery St, Suite 540" in San Fran serves as home to many fine organizations, ranging from the Women's Technology Cluster to DNA Bridges Inc. to Swiss American Chamber of Commerce. Must be nice to be in such spacious surroundings...
The domain itself was created way back on 12-Dec-1999, possibly by some enterprising USF undergrad:

All in all, not exactly a positive first impression from that website, incredibly short on details... company, accounts, performance, etc.
Is your friend applying for the fast-track position of "Sales Associate" or "Investment Manager"? Not that there seems to be a whole lot of difference between the two...
