Bloomberg reported last week that the U.S. Justice Department is looking into Radiant World’s business, while the Commodity Futures Trading Commission is examining trades involving the company ‌and ⁠its creditors, citing people familiar with the matter.

Radiant World has said it conducts its business to the highest commercial and legal standards.

The company has ⁠come under scrutiny from counterparties in recent weeks because of concerns about invoices provided to its banks.

Commodities broker ⁠Marex Group has frozen all Radiant World’s accounts following allegations that the iron ore trader ⁠used invalid invoices to raise funds, according to two sources with knowledge of the matter.
