Has anyone else received this email? I got this email from IG today and they also refunded me some money (although its the wrong amount).

Did they get sued by someone? Has anyone got any more information on this?

Hi @jasear,

IG did sent an email out to non-leveraged accounts affected by the complex instrument issue.

You received this email because you’ve traded one (or more) of these products where it may not have been appropriate for you. Where that is the case, we should have provided you with a risk warning before allowing you to trade.

We believe it’s fair to compensate clients for losses incurred on these complex products where we should have displayed a risk warning and did not do so. We’ll reimburse your IG account shortly after you receive this email.

Please reach out to helpdesk.uk@ig.com or call 0800 195 3100 for further assistance.

Thank you - Arvin

I got the same email but it is quite vague from IG as it does not list which products they are referring to.

Also, i have ongoing dispute with IG regarding redemption of SPAC shares which i believe has prompted this.

I can't provide further info into the dispute as it is still ongoing.

Thanks Arvin, 

I got the email but I am not sure if IG took this action as a result of a class action suit. Can you please confirm if you were sued? If so then I would like some more information on the case and the ruling so I know what I am eligible for.

Hi @Member @jasear,

I have contacted the Compliance department. They confirmed that it is not the result of a class action. I can inform you that this action is being taken as the result of an internal IG decision.

All the best - Arvin

    • I believe this is nothing but a witch hunt cos apparently Binance is on its way to been the biggest company world over. Also, there are rumours that all this hapenings could be BlackRock making a move to clear the house ahead of the most awaited ETF. Notwithstanding, i took precautionary measures and moved my funds to Bitget and Bybit, better to be safe than sorry yah.
    • Crypto industry maybe seen as one of the fastest growing industries in the world today, boasting of a remarkable growth that is capable of making many forget in a hurry all the hurdles it had to beat during its infancy. Although not void of limitations still, no industry is anyways, it has well exceeded early expectations and earned global interest. So scrolling through my Instagram feeds today and seeing the footballing icon and 8th time Ballon d'or winner, Lionel Messi’s post of him celebrating his 1 year anniversary partnership with the crypto exchange, Bitget, I was left reminiscing all the challenges the industry had to overcome to get to where it is today. As a crypto enthusiast who is eager to see the industry reach greater heights, such high-profile partnership thrills me. For one, for the industry to leap further, the issue of lack of trust must be resolved. Lionel Messi well understands his position in his country Argentina as a demi-god, his 500m global followers on IG idolise him. He and his crew must have done their background checks before endorsing the crypto exchange to protect his reputation and also for his followers’ interest. The global reach from this partnership is also a win for the exchange and the industry in general. It portrays the exchange as trustworthy and reliable, and readily welcomes newbies, further boosting crypto adoption. 2009-2023 has been an adventurous journey for the crypto industry, there might have been some tides here and there but the ship is sailing smoothly. Has crypto industry striked mainstream adoption to afford sealing high-profile partnerships like this? 
    • Binance's former CEO, Changpeng Zhao, has admitted to violating US anti-money laundering laws, which may result in him facing jail time. This news comes as a surprise to many, as CZ is highly regarded in the industry, unlike some other exchange founders who have been caught engaging in fraudulent activities.   The US Justice Department is now seeking a longer prison sentence than the initial 12-18 months and has also denied CZ's request to travel despite his trial starting in February 2024.   Following the news of Binance CZ's guilty plea, more than $1 billion was withdrawn from Binance as investors sought out more secure options due to the uncertainty surrounding the exchange and US regulations.   This raises the question of how this situation will impact the long-term future of cryptocurrency, as well as which exchanges are best for investors at this time.
