More shenanigans involving pit traders. http://www.chicagotribune.com/business/chi-biz-cbot-treasury-fraud-april1,0,2743726.story
Good. Let's see how they like getting f*cked for a change. Don't complain. This is lightning fast compared to the SEC.
When I took my CBOT member orientation, the spookiest thing that the lecturer told us was that a single violation could potentially be prosecuted by multiple entities: i.e. the CBOT, the NFA, the City of Chicago, Cook County, the State of Illinois and an "alphabet soup" of other federal agencies. The room went dead silent and most everybody turned as white as a ghost.
No wonder why they are fighting not to be regulated by anyone but the CFTC. Time to close the pits and move everything electronic. With an electronic market everything can be traced. In the pit they can get away with anything.
