On September 15, 2008, Lehman Brothers filed for bankruptcy. With $639 billion in assets and $619 billion in debt, Lehman's bankruptcy filing was the largest in history, as its assets far surpassed those of previous bankrupt giants such as WorldCom and Enron. IB is nothing comparing to what Lehman Bothers used to be.
It is human nature to feel fear when all non HK investments suddenly have zero protection. All these non HK investments will just become zero $$$ if IB HK just melt down.
IB hasn't show any evidence that it is HK SFC forces/suggests them to move all HK clients accounts to IB HK.
Why do I need to answer your question when IB hasn't show any evidence that it is HK SFC forces/suggests them to move all HK clients accounts to IB HK. You ask IB to answer it first.
I'm sure everyone on this and your other similar thread(s) wonders why you're still doing business with a firm you believe is bamboozling you.
I haven't made a decision yet because I have no answer of this question: IB hasn't show any evidence that it is HK SFC forces/suggests them to move all HK clients accounts to IB HK. If IB can prove HK SFC really did force/suggest them to move all HK clients to HK IB, then ok fine IB should be fine as usual just SFC BS then alright. If HK SFC actually didn't say anything then....you know
You already have the "answer of this question" directly from an IB rep. If you require further "proof" you evidently don't believe or trust them, which again makes me wonder why you're continuing to do business.
