FXCM CEO Mr. Niv said, “We have decided to exit the Japanese and Hong Kong retail markets selling our locally regulated subsidiary in each country. The sales will not only generate meaningful proceeds, but will also liberate over $50 million of cash which currently resides in these two entities.”

FXCM letter to clients to repay negative balances
By LeapRate Staff on Friday, 01.23.15
LeapRate Exclusive… LeapRate has received a copy of the letter being circulated by FXCM Inc (NYSE:FXCM) to its clients having negative client balances in their accounts, following large losses by many clients last Thursday on Swiss Franc CHF pairs trading.
The losses left certain FXCM clients with an aggregate of about $225 million of negative equity in their accounts – and left FXCM with a major hole in its regulatory capital requirements, leading to a $300 million bailout of FXCM by Leucadia National Corp (NYSE:LUK).
Interestingly, FXCM tells its clients in the letter that if they hold more than one account with FXCM, any funds from accounts with positive balances will be used to cover the negative balances in another account.
