In a twist worthy of a financial fencing match, the UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has stormed into the High Court like a stern headmaster catching schoolboys with contraband sweets, accusing HTX (formerly Huobi) of peddling crypto services to Britons with all the subtlety of a street performer juggling lit torches.
HTX, which operates under the charmless alias of “not authorized to function in the UK,” allegedly treated Her Majesty’s subjects to a carnival of unauthorized crypto promotions. The FCA, ever the vigilant bouncer at capitalism’s nightclub, insists this lawsuit is “for the good of the club” – or rather, to protect consumers from digital cowboys who think financial regulations are mere suggestions. Remedies sought include judicial equivalents of a stern talking-to, possible sanctions, and a firm “no more cookie dough” warning. Britons are advised to regard HTX’s missives with the suspicion of a cat eyeing a cucumber.
