Star Bridge Capital's gold trading experienced abnormal liquidation, and the platform's Hong Kong office is empty

According to Caixin, Star Bridge Capital (SBCFX) experienced an abnormal liquidation incident in London gold trading. After the incident, the Hong Kong office of the platform was empty, and some investors faced huge losses. According to multiple investors, their automated trading in London gold (XAUUSD) derivatives through the Star Bridge Capital platform encountered extreme abnormal trading on the evening of August 19: the system automatically generated huge reverse short positions within just 1 to 3 seconds, followed by a rapid rise in international gold prices, leading to collective liquidations of accounts, with some accounts' funds reaching zero, and some even incurring negative debts.The so-called London gold liquidation refers to the risk of trading in the opposite direction of gold price movements, and due to leverage and other reasons, resulting in excessive losses, where the available margin in the investor's account is exhausted, falling below the maintenance margin ratio, leading to forced liquidation by the platform and total loss of principal.Affected investors estimate that this incident involves about 2,000 to 3,000 people, including a large number of mainland investors. Currently, some investors have reported to the Hong Kong police and requested the platform to refund 70% of the principal according to the previously promised "maximum loss of 30%" rule.Some investors claim that Star Bridge Capital offers leverage of up to 500 times, and some funds were deposited via USDT stablecoins, increasing the difficulty of tracking funds. Public information shows that Star Bridge Capital's business scope covers foreign exchange, commodities, indices, cryptocurrencies, etc., and it claims to be a licensed and compliant international trading platform.
