  • @SEC_News @SEC_News A5: Don’t pay any more money if you suspect fraud. Some schemes promise large returns to persuade victims to send one fee after another. Typically, legitimate brokers will deduct fees and commissions from your account, and not demand more $ to release earnings. #WIWchat

The order requires Sukarne to pay a $35,000 civil monetary penalty. This case is brought in connection with the CFTC’s Livestock Markets Task Force.

    The CFTC’s investigation was conducted in conjunction with a related inquiry by CME, which today also announced a disciplinary action against Sukarne. In determining its penalty, the CFTC recognized that CME has imposed a $25,000 sanction on Sukarne for violating the exchange’s position limits rules, raising the total monetary...
