Fraudulent prop firm
After TFF was purchased by Axe Secuirities (stated on X [twitter] that they acquired The Forex Funder on 26 August 2024) the prop firm seemed promising.
However they simply went silent and 1000's of us traders were left in the dark.
This is absolute fraud, taking money from traders paying $500 and more for a challenge then simply disappearing.
I have put more than 12 months into my challenges, they have already failed one live account with a rule that makes no sense.
I have another 2 live accounts and 1 account in the Phase 2 phase which I simply have no access to.
I am now out almost $3000 and 23 months of hard work.
DO NOT TRUST !!!

Wasted 5 months with this scandalous firm @theforexfunder_ ... Passed my challenge February... It took them two months to get my funded account. I traded 30 required days of live account to request for a payout n this is another month with no payout. Crazy!!!
There should be a regulatory body putting prop firm into check. This is a fraudulent firm.
I TRADED FOR 30 DAY, AFTER WHICH I REQUESTED FOR WITHDRAWAL, DID YOU KNOW IT TOOK OVER 10 DAYS TO APPROVE WITHDRAWAL, AFTER THE APPROVAL, I THOUGHT IT WILL BE CREDITED, I WAITED FOR 24 HOUR AND CONTACTED THE SUPPORT, I WAS TOLD TO WAIT FOR 1-5 DAYS TO REFLECT ON MY ACCOUNT, THEN AFTER 5 DAY, I CONTACTED THEM, NOW I REALISED THEY ARE SCAM BECAUSE THEY MADE EXCUSED THAT THEIR SERVER IS DOWN, THEY ARE TRYING TO MIGRATE TO MT5,ETC AND WHEN I CONFRONTED THEM, THEY SENT ME A MAIL THAT MY ACCOUNT HAS BEEN BREACHED. JUST IMMAGINE, SOMETHING THAT HAS ALREADLY BEEN APPROVED WITH CERTIFICATED SENT TO ME. THEY ARE NOW SAYING THEY MADE A MISTAKE TO APPROVE IT, THAT THEY HAVE REVIEWED IT. THAT I TRADED WITH MICRO LOT. THIS IS A PROP FIRM WITHOUT ANY FORM OF CONSISTENCY RULE OR LOT SIZE TO USE OR NOT.. I HAVE THE CONTRACT AND NOT STATED THERE. I HAVE ALL THE PICTURES AND SCREENSHOTS, WHERE CAN I UPLOAD THEM?
I worked for this firm and his owner thomas cobain, he had me working and talking his way out of payments for weeks, ended up ghosting on 3 thousand dollars of work, he also did the same thing for 2 other coworkers who as me had to quit when we realized he was never going to pay us.

Dont sign up to anything on their site - use your money for rehoming cats or something else.
This company is like many of the other scamming funded trading companies out there, and it got taken over by another company that unfortunately had their work cut out for them, and have since relinqushed ownership back to the very person they bought it from.
What does this all mean? Any challenge account you had is now gone, and you arent getting it back.

SCAM STAY AWAY!!!
ABSOLUTE TOTAL AND UTTER SCAM DISGRACE OF DISHONEST OWNERS BOTH PAST AND PRESENT. @TJFX98 THOMAS COBAIN IS A FRAUD CHARLATAN SCAMMER WHO POSTS VIDEO AFTER VIDEO OF NEVERENDING GARBAGE. HE NEVER PAID OUT A SINGLE WINNING TRADER AND IT SEEMS THE NEW OWNERS WILL NEVER DO SO EITHER. I HAD AN ACCOUNT WITH THEM. FOLLOWING UNEXPLAINED AND UNWARNED MIGRATION AFTER MIGRATION OF ACCOUNT TO ACCOUNT TO PLATFORM TO PLATFORM NOTHING EVER EVENTUATES. THEIR 24/7 LIVE CHAT HAS GONE DEAD. THEIR EMAIL ENQUIRY FORM SUBMISSION DOESN'T WORK. ACCOUNT DASHBOARD LOGIN DISABLED SAYING "NO ACCOUNT REGISTERED AT THAT EMAIL ADDRESS" NEED I SAY MORE? DO NOT FALL FOR THEIR LIES.

Very very bad firm.
Do yourself a favor and move to other prop firms. If you want headache trade with them. After waiting for over 2 months for my payout, they denied it and came out with a random reason not to pay me out. After that, they removed my account from their system. No payout no account anymore.

Biggest scammers in the whole prop firm…
Biggest scammers in the whole prop firm industry. Don’t buy anything from them/N’achetez aucun challenge venant d’eux.
I had multiple 1M$ accounts every time I reach to a payout they find some bs reason to not pay. They denied a payout for placing my SL AFTER opening a position (I placed the SL a couple seconds after no big deal).
When the first migration happened they asked me some screenshot of my accounts on the old dashboard (that was inaccessible since it was shutdown) they finally accepted to give me back challenges instead of my real accounts.
When the second migration happened they blocked all my accounts again, I tried dming them on instagram and sending emails to the support they told me they can’t find my accounts with the email and full name i’m providing them (just like my dashboard account never existed) they stopped answering and they end up blocking me on Instagram and on the email support.
They manage to take a couple thousand from me i’m writing all this so that you guys reading don’t get scammed as well. ✌️
Go to FTMO only good stuff to say about them.

It has been more than a month that I have purchased a 100k account and still did not receive any account log in details. The "new management" is here now and doing nothing since then. I still don't know if I will get my money back or an account.
