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.

More than a rumour - I said it!
The only 'concrete' proof I have relate to is a Youtube video regarding forexbastards (maybe this is the anti-felix campaign you are referring to?) which if true, proves my point in at least one instance.
Personally, the 'real' proof as far as I am concerned, is that I am a Aleccohfx customer and have experienced first-hand everything I have highlighted in this thread (and more I cannot reveal for fear of account closure...)
One thing that I think most would now agree, is that Aleccohfx's initial offering has been a complete failure - a withdrawn scalping service, the no-slippage promise where people that complained about orders not being opened at newstime were told that they had not set enough slippage, completely artificial delays being introduced in order execution etc.
These are all documented in this thread, still rarely get mentioned!
That said, though I withdrew most of my funds, I still have a small account - just waiting to see what the future hold, though I'm not holding my breath on this one...
