CWM FX has drawn considerable attention in the UK market thanks to its sponsorship of the world famous Chelsea Football Club. Earlier this month, when the London police raided an office tower in the heart of the city's financial district, CWM FX's name was brought up by the local press as the possible target.

The police confirmed the arrest of ten men and three women in one of the tower’s financial services firms, stating that the employees were arrested for suspicion of false representation, conspiracy to defraud and money laundering. The company’s identity was not revealed, and CWM FX said at the time that it was operating as normal. It tweeted: "Merely an AML enquiry & had no correspondence to us.”

While the police raid might not have been directly related to CWM FX, such bad press can hurt the reputation of any firm. Leverate, as a company that serves many brokers operating in different countries around the world, might not have wanted its brand to be linked to a firm whose name is tarnished.
