Trading start-up files antitrust lawsuit in New York

NEW YORK, April 18 (IFR) - Derivatives trading start-up TeraExchange filed an antitrust lawsuit Monday alleging that some of the biggest banks in the world conspired to block customers from using its service.
The suit, first reported by IFR last week, charges that 12 banks conspired to keep investors from trading interest rates swaps on its platform, which was founded in 2010.
Bank of America Merrill Lynch, Barclays, BNP Paribas, Citigroup, Credit Suisse, Deutsche Bank, Goldman Sachs, HSBC, JP Morgan, Morgan Stanley, RBS and UBS were named in the suit.

end up with millions.

Someone had to come up with a new way to make money and sue the banks for breaking the law. All those shell accounts. Just a matter of time before it all comes out too.
