FINMA is investigating the company and its executives. A month later we learned that there was another scandal associated with this broker – a Twin Cities fund manager was charged with scamming his investors for over $190 million, part of which was invested with Crown Forex.

Zayed a veteran litigator at Carlson Caspers Vandenburgh & Lindquist, filed a nine-count complaint against Chicago-based Peregrine that seeks recovery and interest under Minnesota's fraudulent transfer law.
