                   其中一个期权合约的障碍水平(barrier level)。Phillips 反复询问销售人员其需

                   要卖出多少才能使市场价格低于这一水平。当 Phillips 使美元对南非兰特汇率低
                   于该水平时,其立即停止了交易并要求销售人员给他发送了一份最后交易的系统

                   打印件,以证明美元对南非兰特汇率已经突破了 1:12.50 的障碍水平。

                   监督计划,但公司的计划却未能发现或忽略了 Phillips 在短时间内所进行的集中

                   CFTC Charges Commodity Pool Operators and Their Co-Chief Investment

                   Officer with Deception and Manipulation in Connection with Swaps and

                   Supervision Failures (2022/12/15)


                        The Commodity Futures Trading Commission today filed a civil enforcement

                   action in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York against Glen

                   Point Capital Advisors LP and Glen Point Capital LLP (collectively, Glen Point

                   Capital), two CFTC-registered commodity pool operators, and their Co-Founder and

                   Co-Chief Investment Officer, Neil Phillips, charging them with engaging in a

                   deceptive and manipulative scheme to illegally trigger payouts on two large binary

                   option contracts. Additionally, the defendants are charged with failing to supervise the

                   trading activities of their officers, employees, and agents.


                        In its continuing litigation, the CFTC seeks, among other relief, civil monetary

                   penalties, disgorgement of any ill-gotten gains, permanent trading and registration
                   bans, and a permanent injunction against further violations of the Commodity

                   Exchange Act (CEA), as charged.
