“Sepengetahuan saya, semua binary option platform yang beroperasi di Indonesia tidak resmi. Mungkin mereka terdaftar di Belize, Cyprus dan sebagainya, tapi itu tidak membuktikan bahwa mereka resmi dan legal. Semua itu sangat berbahaya,” Lamon said. In July 2016, Israeli binary options companies Vault Options and Global Trader 365 were ordered by the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois to pay more than $4.5 million for illegal OTC binary options trading, fraud, and registration violations. Companies have also been permanently banned from operating in the U.S. or selling to U.S. citizens. [49] In February 2017, The Times of Israel reported that the FBI was conducting an active international investigation into binary options fraud, emphasizing its international character, claiming that the agency was “not limited to the United States.” Victims from around the world were invited to contact a local FBI office or the FBI`s Internet Crime Complaints Center. The survey is not limited to binary options brokers, but is comprehensive and could include companies providing services that allow the industry to operate. Credit card issuers are informed of the fraudulent nature of much of the industry, which could allow victims to receive a chargeback or refund of fraudulently acquired money.

[6] In March 2016, binary options trading in Israel was banned by the Israel Securities Authority on the grounds that trading was essentially a game and not a form of investment management. The ban was extended to foreign customers in October 2017. [16] [48] [4] It was approved by the Knesset in October, despite strong opposition from the binary options industry. [17] In March 2013, the Malta Financial Services Authority (MFSA) announced that the regulation of binary options would be removed from the Maltese Lottery and Gaming Authority. [55] On 18 June 2013, the MFSA confirmed that it considered binary options to fall within the scope of the Markets in Financial Instruments Directive (MiFID), which made Malta the second EU country to regulate binary options as a financial instrument. This required suppliers to purchase a Tier 3 investment services licence and meet MiFID`s minimum capital requirements. Businesses could previously operate from the jurisdiction with a valid license from the Lottery and Gaming Authority. [56] JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com – Kegiatan opsi biner atau binary option di Indonesia dipastikan ilegal pelaksanaannya, sebab seluruh platform atau penyelenggara kegiatan berkedok trading komoditas itu tidak ada yang memiliki izin usaha dari Badan Pengawas Perdagangan Berjangka Komoditi (Bappebti) Kementerian Perdagangan. In June 2013, US regulators accused the Israeli Cypriot company Banc De Binary of illegally selling binary options to US investors.

[25] [73] In February 2016, the Company reached an $11 million settlement with U.S. authorities. Regulators found that the company was using a “virtual office” in New York`s Trump Tower to follow its agenda and circumvent the ban on otc binary options contracts. The company has neither admitted nor denied the allegations. [74] In November 2016, the SEC issued another investor alert on binary options websites. [75] In 2016, Aldison said, binary options are a practice that can be criminalized to commit fraud and embezzlement in their activities. Let`s say you decide to buy at $44.50. If, at 1:30 p.m., the price of gold is more than $1,250, your option will expire and it will be worth $100. You make a profit of $100 – $44.50 = $55.50 (minus fees). This is called “in the money”. Binary options are discussed.

It turns out that there is not a single binary options broker that has an official license in Indonesia. Nevertheless, they still wander. Binary options have several platforms to use, such as Binomo, Olymp Trade, IQ Option, FBS, and Quotex, which Bappebti has designated as a number of websites offering illegal trading investment services.
