The German Kai Christian Petersen is accused by the U.S. SEC of being one of the masterminds of a worldwide binary fraud scheme. In September 2019, the SEC filed a complaint against Petersen and his Israeli partners Gil Beserglik and Raz Beserglik. German BaFin and other EU regulators have also issued cease-and-desist orders and warnings against Petersen's companies and brands. An excellent reason to disappear from the online public, isn't it?
On May 8, 2018, the German regulator BaFin issued an order that Kai Petersen's FinTech Service GmbH, registered in Dusseldorf, Germany, should cease support for scam brokers. An appeal against this order was denied by the court in Frankfurt. In September 2019, the U.S. SEC filed a complaint against Kai Petersen and his Israeli partners Gil Beserglik and Raz Beserglik charging them with binary options fraud. FinTelegram has reported and Kai Petersen has contacted FinTelegram to contest on of ten counts.
