BinckBank requires rectification of the false and misleading statements from Degiro regarding BinckBank on 9 December 2014. If DeGiro does not rectify her statements BinckBank will start summary proceedings. The statements of Degiro about the order execution of BinckBank through the Smart Order Router (SOR) are misleading, and contain a false link between BinckBank and the book "Flash Boys" by Michael Lewis.
BinckBank does also report price manipulation to the AFM about the false and misleading statements of Degiro. These have led to a sudden decline of the BinckBank share on 9 December 2014, which cannot be explained by factors other than the statements by Degiro.
