Is the company subject to the control of a European supervisory authority?

Fantex – Financial Markets Authority issues warning in trading context
In February 2021, the FMA, Austria’s financial supervisory authority, published a warning on this topic. The issue is that Fantex or Felicity Group Ltd is not authorised to carry out banking transactions requiring approval.
This is because the provider is not allowed to trade for its own account or for the account of third parties.
