UAE Al Ain Court orders UAE broker to repay 124,361 USDT

UAE Al Ain Civil Court has ordered a trading broker to pay back $124,361 in USDT to a young investor. This February 11, 2026 ruling involves UAE broker and crypto.

The case involved a $135,501 USDT (Tether) portfolio managed by a broker with a 30% profit-sharing agreement. The parties had a written agreement through messaging apps, setting a 1 to 5% daily return target and a strict 8% stop-loss. However, the broker did not follow these terms.

A court-appointed expert reviewed the case and found that the broker had Ignored Stop-Loss Limits: Continued trading deep into losing positions, effectively “wiping out” the account, carried out Excessive Margin Usage which meant leveraging the account well beyond the deposited capital, amplifying the downside, and carried out high churnning which is when the broker employed execution methods that generated over $46,000 in platform fees in just a few days, a practice often viewed as “churning” to maximize commission at the client’s expense.

The Civil, Commercial and Administrative Al Ain Court found that the broker’s ‘unprofessional conduct’ and breach of contract meant the investor should get back all lost funds, plus extra penalties.
