The Prop Firm Graveyard
Every major prop firm that shut down, was seized by regulators, or quietly disappeared with traders' balances. Each entry includes a public, dated source. We don't speculate — if a firm isn't here, it isn't confirmed dead.

How this list is curated
Every entry must include at least one public, dated source — a regulator filing, press release, archived website, or established industry coverage. Rumors, anonymous social-media accusations, and unverified Discord screenshots don't qualify.
