The spouse’s social media post alleges that the arrest stems from charges raised by the senior executives at easyMarkets. The claims also include allegations that a particular client of the brokerage allegedly paid the Cypriot mafia to scare the management of the firm by detonating an explosive device near one of the old properties of Michael Konnaris.
According to the spouse of Craig Jenkins, the management of easyMarkets has wrongly accused her husband who is currently under arrest and will be taken to court tomorrow morning. Update: Craig Jenkins was released on Sunday, the 11th of September 2016 without any charges after spending 4 days in police custody.
Craig Jenkins commented to Finance Magnates, “I was conducting an official company investigation at the request of the CEO and with the knowledge of the company owners. I was risking my personal safety to protect the interests of the company and staff who I care about a great deal. All aspects of the investigation were conducted entirely legally and I have behaved professional at all times.”
“The allegations that I was in any way connected with the bombing are ridiculous and completely false and the Police, obviously found not one shred of evidence against me. I asked the company to apologise to me for exposing me to danger and ensuring I spent four days in a cockroach infested cell but they refused. I am receiving legal advice on what action to take against the company,” he elaborated.

does somebody know more details?
I was a former customer of Easy Forex and EasyForex Palatial spent $ 1,400,000. When I came to Cyprus, Craig Genghis negotiated with me and then threatened to kill me. I was arrested in the month of 8 – 2016 on charges of detonating his bomb and I spent six days in the cell and the judge evacuated Sabili. They robbed my money and made me homeless and wanted my prison. I was the victim who was imprisoned by the police but they did not investigate with the Easy Forex gang.
These are the real crooks of the industry – more details regarding their dodgy activities will be revealed soon.
@the management of easyMarkets stated that recent allegations made via social media are “completely false”.– Was the bomb exploding false as well? I guess they churned and burned the wrong client! I guess Craig Jenkins is the scapegoat…stay strong!
@pradeep cysec should investigate the dealing room if they really did that. This is not good news for clients
easy-Forex/easy-markets is the pioneer of retail FX industry, they are a very solid company which have been around for a very long time. Whatever took place there is no regards to the standing of the company as a whole. You can never make all clients happy, if you did then I would not trust that company anyway.
So what happened in the end? Was he an accomplice to the bomb incident or just incompetent? Where do these forex companies find these people!!
