$200 Million Suit against
StoneX
In
November, the company filed a legal action against its competitor, StoneX Group,
alleging the theft of its proprietary software code and confidential business
information related to its stock trading technology. The lawsuit, lodged in a
California court, seeks compensation of at least $200 million.
The
accusation by BTIG revolves around StoneX purportedly poaching a group of
BTIG's traders and software engineers. According to BTIG, the aim was to acquire confidential information for developing rival trading platforms
and business ventures.
The lawsuit
claims that at least one ex-BTIG staff member secured the company's software
code by encrypting it and sending it to himself, a tactic intended to evade
detection. BTIG's legal representatives pointed to text exchanges between two
ex-employees, one of whom had moved to StoneX, discussing the appropriation of
BTIG's software code.
