A Complete Timeline of the MyForexFunds Return

In August 2023, one of the most popular proprietary trading firms in the world was shut down overnight. MyForexFunds (MFF), a firm trusted by over 60,000 funded traders globally, was hit with allegations by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) — allegations the firm has consistently denied. Two and a half years later, the story has taken a dramatic turn. MFF is fighting back, and the comeback is well underway. Here is the complete chronological timeline of every major development — sourced directly from MFF's official X (formerly Twitter) account and our industry updates.

The First Signal: MFF Breaks Its Silence

October 6, 2025

After more than two years of near-total silence, @MyForexFunds posted on X for the first time and the message was brief but unmistakable:

"Its been a long time. A lot has happened. We will tell our story soon. Be patient, we missed you."

The prop trading community took notice instantly, with the post sparking widespread discussion about whether MFF was truly preparing to return.

CEO Murtuza Kazmi Speaks: The Official Statement

October 9, 2025

Three days after the teaser post, MyForexFunds dropped its most significant communication since the 2023 shutdown — a formal letter from CEO and Founder Murtuza Kazmi, addressed directly to the MFF community. Kazmi acknowledged the enormous support the firm had received over the difficult preceding years, and finally addressed the legal situation publicly:

In August 2023, MyForexFunds was wrongfully shut down. The CFTC's case in the USA has been dismissed and the unwinding process of Receivership in Canada is still ongoing. Thank you to our community for your support and strength during this time.

The letter laid out four critical facts that the trading community had been waiting years to hear:

• The CFTC's case in the United States had been fully dismissed.

• A US federal judge had granted MFF's motion for sanctions against the CFTC, awarded attorney's fees, and found that the CFTC had lied in its filings — a complete vindication.

• The Ontario court had issued an endorsement significantly scaling back the Canadian receivership and ordering business assets returned to MFF.

• The process of unwinding the receivership and returning business assets was actively ongoing.

Kazmi also warned the community about misinformation circulating via influencer accounts, urging traders to treat third-party information with caution and rely only on official MFF updates.

The Roadmap: MFF Journey 2025–2026

November 6, 2025

A month later, MFF raised the stakes further by publishing a structured roadmap — a visual breakdown of exactly where things stood and what still needed to happen before a full return.

The firm addressed its community directly:

Our roadmap is more than just a plan; it's a journey we're taking together with our community. We're opening the doors to transparency — keeping you informed of each step, challenge, and achievement along the way.

The roadmap outlined six key phases in the MFF comeback. At the time of posting, the status looked like this:

MFF also confirmed that once the court order was finalized, Canadian regulators might continue to review proceedings but that MFF would be regaining full control of its assets, data sources, and systems, enabling a comprehensive internal analysis. The process was set to begin once the support team was fully onboarded.

The Website Goes Live — Briefly

December 8, 2025

In early December, an industry update from @MyForexFirms reported that the official myforexfunds.com website had briefly come back online — displaying a "Coming Soon" page before being taken down, likely due to an early or accidental release.

Though brief, this was a meaningful signal. The website going live even momentarily indicated that backend infrastructure was being actively rebuilt. The industry update confirmed the site had since been taken back down.

Phase Three Complete: Canadian Asset Handover Approved

December 9, 2025

This was the biggest development since the October CEO letter. MyForexFunds announced that Phase Three of their roadmap — the Return of Canadian Assets — was officially complete.

The Ontario Superior Court had approved the Canadian Asset Handover Order, meaning MFF was now actively beginning to reclaim its Canadian assets, data, and systems.

The firm posted:

We're excited to share another major milestone on our journey — Phase Three is officially complete. The Ontario Superior Court has approved the Canadian Asset Handover Order. We are in the process of regaining full control over our assets, data, and systems. The phase of reassembling the MyForexFunds team can now begin. With the right people back in place, a comprehensive analysis and operational review will follow, bringing us one step closer to the next chapter for MyForexFunds and our global trading community.

The Information Hub Launches

December 15, 2025

With momentum building, MFF took another step toward full transparency by launching a dedicated information page on their website. The page was designed to serve as the central hub for verified updates, provide clear timelines, and counter the misinformation that had been circulating across social media since 2023.

We also believe it serves best to post the full story of what happened with a clear and honest foundation. This will allow everyone to have all facts necessary to understand the complexity of our position and stem any false narratives they may face in public. Transparency, clarity, detail. More to come as we push forward.

MFF described this as the beginning of a broader effort to set the record straight, allow traders to be informed, and position the firm to move forward. Traders were directed to myforexfunds.com to view the overview, with the full story described as "coming soon."

Chapter V — The Way Ahead: Full Story Published

January 29, 2026

Nearly four months after breaking its silence, MyForexFunds published what it called Chapter V — The Way Ahead on its website. This was the most comprehensive public account of the firm's recovery journey to date, formally documenting all major milestones and outlining what remained ahead.

Key confirmed milestones documented in the update:

• August 5, 2025 — Canadian receivership was significantly reduced by the Ontario court, which ordered the return of business assets to MFF.

• October 9, 2025 — Official re-establishment of communication with the MFF community, reconnecting the firm publicly for the first time since the shutdown.

• December 15, 2025 — Launch of the MFF information website, established as the official hub for verified updates and resources going forward.

The publication of Chapter V marked a turning point from legal recovery to active narrative reclamation. MFF was no longer just winning in court; it was telling its own story, on its own terms.

The CEO Goes on Camera: Breaking Two Years of Silence

February 2, 2026 

In one of the most anticipated moments of the entire comeback story, MFF Founder Murtuza Kazmi (@MurtKa7) appeared on camera for the first time since the shutdown — delivering a video update that addressed the CFTC allegations, the impact on traders, and the road ahead. 

The key points from the video: 

• Kazmi stated the CFTC made false accusations of fraud and misleading practices, acting without due process and causing an overnight account freeze that left traders locked out. 

• The shutdown directly impacted over 60,000 funded traders, with a temporary restraining order halting all operations with no warning. 

• As evidence of the firm's legitimacy, Kazmi cited verified payouts totaling over $300 million — including individual traders who received six-figure sums in the days immediately before the freeze. 

• The firm emphasized that its trading conditions were real and transparent, with profits genuinely paid out to traders. 

• Looking ahead, Kazmi confirmed that payouts would resume soon, with a clear focus on rebuilding compliance frameworks and re-establishing community communication through official channels only. 

The video marked a deeply personal moment in the MFF story — a founder, publicly cleared of wrongdoing, finally able to speak freely after two years of legal restrictions. For the trading community, it was the clearest signal yet that MFF was not just recovering — it was returning with intent.

The Email Update: Payouts Are the Priority

March 18, 2026

In the most operationally significant update yet, MFF sent a direct email to users in its database—outlining the next steps in the recovery process with a specific focus on pending trader payouts and account reconciliation. The update was also covered by @MyForexFirms in their industry roundup.

Key points from the official email:

• Processing payouts for traders who requested withdrawals before the shutdown is confirmed as the top priority.

• Payments are not yet being processed — execution is pending completion of legal setups and payment vendor integration.

• Affected traders will be contacted directly once payout processing begins; no action is needed from users yet.

• The next phase involves separating chargeback vs. non-chargeback accounts before any further review can take place.

• A data review process will follow to assess account states at the time of the 2023 closure.

• MFF stated its intent to compensate legitimate users with positive equity, though noted this is currently constrained by data recovery limitations.

• Users are advised not to submit additional records until specifically requested, as internal data is being prioritized first.

• The firm acknowledged disruptions to servers, email accounts, and data storage during the shutdown — caused by bills going unpaid during the oversight period and confirmed these are being actively resolved.

• No fixed timeline for full restoration has been provided, given the complexity of the process.

We know this doesn't answer all questions, but we will get to answering everything when we can do so with 100% surety. We know you will continue being patient with us as we untangle the mess that was caused by the unnecessary and wrongful shutdown of our MFF. Updates will come as soon as we have them. We are looking forward to reviving our great community and bringing trust back to the industry. — Murtuza Kazmi, Founder, MyForexFunds

Payout Emails Begin: The First Big Step Forward

April 3, 2026

In the most concrete sign yet that MFF's recovery is moving from planning to execution, MyForexFunds announced that payment confirmation emails are now being sent out in batches to traders who had pending rewards at the time of the 2023 closure.

An email is currently going out in batches starting today, to confirm payment details of users who had pending rewards at the time of closure. Please keep your eyes peeled to your inboxes.

Once we have finished sending out all batches, we will post a survey to capture anyone who may not have received the email. When all details are received, payments will start to go out promptly.

This is the first big step forward and we are excited about the future.

This update marks a pivotal shift in the MFF comeback story from legal victories and roadmap milestones to actual, tangible action for traders. For the thousands of funded traders who have been waiting years for resolution, this is the moment the process becomes real. Traders who had pending rewards at the time of closure are advised to check their inboxes. Those who do not receive an email should watch for a follow-up survey that MFF has confirmed will be posted once all batches are sent.

Where Things Stand Now

As of April 2026, MyForexFunds has cleared the most significant legal and regulatory hurdles of its comeback journey. Here is the current state of the MFF roadmap:

✅ US Case Victory — CFTC case dismissed, sanctions granted

✅ Unwinding Canadian Receivership — significantly scaled back

✅ Return of Canadian Assets — Final Court Order (December 2025)

🟡 Access to Systems & Data — actively in progress

🟡 Analyze Data — underway, account review ongoing

🟡 Open Support Channels — payout emails now being sent (April 2026)

What began as a single cryptic post in October 2025 has evolved into one of the most compelling comeback stories in the history of the prop trading industry. MFF has won in court, reclaimed its assets, told its story publicly, and is now taking direct action to make traders whole.

The trading community has waited over two years for this moment. As of April 2026, payout emails are going out and payments are set to follow. The wait is finally coming to an end.

We will continue tracking every official development as it happens.
