Is USG Legit?

USG claims to offer some protection measures including segregation of accounts, Negative Balance Protection, and accounts with major banks.

However, the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) regulation (License Type: Straight Through Processing (STP) license number: 798776) claimed by this broker is suspected to be clone. Therefore, USG currently has no valid regulation, which means that there is no government or financial authority oversighting their operations. It makes investing with them risky.

I recently found out that USG is routing my order flow to Citadel and other market makers. Before realizing this, the price movements in many of my trades didn't make much sense. It seems like they are facilitating extortion from retail traders for these market makers.
