期货和衍生品行业监管动态
行政令查明,大约从 2018 年 4 月到 2021 年 6 月,Goldline 招揽客户并接受
了具有杠杆、保证金或融资性质的贵金属交易订单。有散户参与了这些没有在指
定合约市场或衍生品交易执行设施上进行的交易。
行政令进一步查明,在提供非法交易时,Goldline 参与了销售欺诈行为。
Goldline 虚报了当客户选择将其贵金属售回给 Goldline 时为保证客户保本所愿意
提高出价的比例。随后,Goldline 谎称,自己非第三方贵金属零售交易商将回购
客户先前从 Goldline 处购买的金属。这一虚假陈述与 Goldline 在招揽材料和客户
账户协议中告知客户的内容相矛盾。Goldline 的管理层明知这些对客户的虚假陈
述,但并未予以纠正。
A-Mark 作为 Goldline 的负责人,应对 Goldline 的违规行为承担责任。
