What happened to SureTrader?
A direct, sourced answer.
SureTrader was wound down in 2019 through a court-supervised liquidation in the Supreme Court of The Bahamas — an orderly regulatory exit, not a collapse and not a fraud finding. SureTrader (MintBroker International, Ltd.) was a Bahamas-licensed broker-dealer that operated from 2011 to 2019, regulated by the Securities Commission of The Bahamas for its entire operating life.
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission later brought a civil action in the Southern District of Florida arguing that the same Bahamas-licensed firm also needed to register in the United States. That case is on appeal in the Eleventh Circuit. It was a registration dispute under U.S. law — not an allegation of theft, misappropriation, or fraud against customers.
