He must have been a magician to know that your server will have a reqoute porblem, if what your saying is true he would have opened an account with every broker and with bigger amount of money.

Yes but we are talking about 3 days not one spike

In this case we closed his account, and this person doesn’t have right to use it anymore.
He used pending orders which is mean if he were a scammer your company should have spotted him from the way he place his orders

How could your server accept unmarketable quotations , if thats a MT4 problem then you can sue them

We refused to obey his demands and he made a distribution to all company’s contacts trying to put pressure on our company this way. No methods of blackmailing from scammers can’t be perceived by our company as an argument.
Is it possible for your company to accept anonymous users to open accounts ?
If he was anonymous how did he fund the 100$ , and how did you refund him back that money ?
how did he get to know all your company contacts , what security level does your company have ?

Although you try to make it sound right but it doesn't , the people from the middle east can trust anyone and that would make them an easy target for scammers, I know that because I worked for as a consultant and project manger in Dubai and in the middle east and I have seen the different scams coming mostly from xxx ... so please try to avoid racist remarks in your argument it wont help your case

finally to be fair, I have seen bad quotes with IBFX and Gain capital and those were resolved over the phone either I was on the winning side or the losing side as a trader I know this can happen but it never ever happen 3 days in a row ...

I am not taking anyone's side, I am just saying that you need to provide a better argument
