Transparency? Not exactly.

Two separate incidents have reignited controversy around Funding Pips, a prop firm already under scrutiny by the trading community.

Trying to Clean the Mess With $100?

A screenshot recently surfaced showing a DM exchange between a Reddit user (FeistyValue1668) and an account named 8218GO — allegedly linked to Funding Pips.

"Hey man, are you active here? I got a proposition for you regarding removal of a reddit post you made. $$ to be made for you, just for deleting."

The post in question? A public accusation that Funding Pips locked the user’s account after passing both stages of their trading challenge — allegedly without cause.

"Now after passing stage one and two, I am locked out of the account with no way in rectifying the issue."

The offer? $100 to delete the post — apparently because it “shows in the SEO when searching for Funding Pips.”

It's a bold (and desperate-looking) attempt to scrub criticism from public view, and it’s not the only case surfacing.

"This Is Not the First Time..."

Twitter account @PFRT_X, known for calling out shady prop firm behavior, shared the screenshot and added:

“🚨This is not the first time @fundingpips has tried to do this. 🚨

You know why this doesn't work? If you want to remove negativity, you need to provide Traders with Transparency. If you do illicit activities with Traders, there is no way you can just buy everyone out.”

The tweet has sparked renewed debate over Funding Pips' ethics and practices.

Ghosted After Passing the Challenge?

Separately, trader @Erdalinka1982 claimed on X that their funded account was terminated by Funding Pips without explanation after successfully completing the firm's evaluation.

"#fundingpips closed my funded account with no proof or explanation. I emailed them multiple times but still haven't received a response."

The claim adds to a growing pattern of traders alleging inconsistent enforcement, silence from support, and disqualifications without due process.

No Public Response (Yet)

As of this writing, Funding Pips has not publicly commented on the DMs or the resurfaced allegations.

Whether or not 8218GO is officially linked to the firm, the optics are clear: someone is trying to bury complaints instead of addressing them — and traders are not staying silent.

In an industry built on trust, silence can be just as loud as a scam.
