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.
