I think thety are running into liquidity problems. They have frozen my account and a number of my friends' accounts for no good reason. They won't allow access to trade or withdrawal. I'd recommend to try and get your money from them and run away.
what the F are you gonna trade on saturday this is a very serious allegation you just made you telling me that come Mon I won't be able to trade YOU ARE INSANE
It is not an allegation. It is the f***ing truth. They did it over 2 weeks ago, and are not answering my daily phone calls, e-mails and tickets. Replying, yes, but not ANSWERING. They keep saying "your account is under review". For over 2 weeks!!!. WTF is there to review?! IB should be reviewed. I have already formally complained with FINRA and SEC.
The first names of your buddies by any chance are Aleksey, Wladimir and Dmitry? All living in Ukraine or Belarus running God knows what stock scam? LOL
this is bullsht there is no way IB would freeze you unless there was some damn good reason for it IB is one of the most solid brokers in entire USA
