The creation of the task force within the Division of Enforcement comes in the wake of Congressâ passage in June 2008 of âThe Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008â that clarified and strengthened the CFTCâs jurisdiction over this market. The task force will focus on fraud in the retail forex market and will work cooperatively with other federal and state regulatory and criminal authorities. http://www.cftc.gov/newsroom/enforcementpressreleases/2008/pr5530-08.html
