The full story
Funded Engineer was a Dubai-based prop firm that grew quickly during 2022–2023. In February 2024 its technology provider, FPFX Technologies, terminated its licence and publicly accused the firm of misconduct, including fake trading accounts — allegations Funded Engineer never publicly rebutted and which were never tested in a public judgment. The firm also lost broker access during that year's platform squeeze.
On 15 July 2024 Funded Engineer announced permanent closure and said it would file for bankruptcy (Finance Magnates and FX News Group). The closure statement made no provision for pending payouts or refunds, and no resolution for traders has been publicly reported since.

A note on 'fund recovery' services: companies that contact traders of collapsed prop firms claiming they can recover lost funds are a well-documented follow-up scam. No legitimate recovery process exists outside official channels or formal insolvency proceedings.
