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.
