Mill Trade was absorbed by MMCIS last month following tough times that befell the two Ukrainian brokers brokers. As Roman Komica, MMCIS CEO, put it at the time: “We have merged with Mill Trade after a difficult process and a difficult history of interrelations between us. Initially, Mill Trade was setup by former MMCIS managers that broke away to setup their own firm. Our relations in the initial stages were strained and we got as far as considering legal proceedings. However, Mill Trade came to us for help as it was facing the same problems we were. This was because the people responsible for the cyber-attack on MMCIS were also targeting Mill Trade believing us to be affiliated.”
