Several of these review sites (incl. forexbastards, forexpeacearmy) have been shown to filter negative reviews where they have a vested interest, so are worthless. They also attract the paid pumpers - as does this thread, imo...

Forexbastards.com no longer exists independently. If you follow any links to reviews, forum postings, etc., you'll find them all moved into forexpeacearmy.com
I believe that I can categorically state that other than a high degree of curiosity about Aleccoh's efforts, the Forex Peace Army has absolutely no vested interest in his brokerage. Felix (FPA's founder) does have a favorite brokerage, he's been trading with them for some time, and has shown no inclination to change to another broker. As for filtering reviews, I'd be more than happy to debate some of the "evidence" of this filtering that is so prominently placed on a certain anti-Felix hate site, but won't do so in Aleccoh's thread.
Considering some of the problems that clients on the Swiss side have experienced, I am a little surprised and disappointed that more efforts haven't been made to maintain customer care there despite the problems of new Swiss regulations as well as the tremendous efforts that must be involved in opening a second brokerage in such a short time frame. I sincerely hope Aleccoh can resolve the issues there even though he no longer has direct legal control of that branch.
Personally, I still plan to open a small live account to test as soon as Aleccoh's USA branch goes online. I will be more than happy to share my unfiltered (and not paid for) experiences, both good and bad (hopefully, much more good than bad) here in this thread, on the Forex Peace Army website, and elsewhere in other forex forums.
