Our CFTC whistleblower fraud attorneys represent whistleblowers reporting fraud in futures, options or swaps, and other violations of CFTC Regulations, under the Dodd-Frank Whistleblower Program.

The Commodities and Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) is the federal agency that regulates the trading of futures and options contracts in the United States and takes action against persons and entities suspected of fraudulent or illegal activity, including:

  • Abuse of commodity derivatives and swaps that threaten market integrity and public confidence
  • Market manipulation
  • Ponzi, pyramid or other schemes
  • Fraud schemes in connection with commodities, futures and swaps
  • False or fraudulent statements

This program provides monetary rewards to whistleblowers who provide information that results in an enforcement action exceeding $1 million in sanctions and protects whistleblowers with anonymity, confidentiality and anti-retaliation measures. With expert representation, you may file your claim anonymously and with confidence your interests will be protected and your potential award maximized.

Most CFTC law firms marketing themselves to whistleblowers lack background in this area of regulation and in financial fraud generally, and have rarely – if ever – investigated or litigated CFTC fraud. Hagens Berman’s CFTC attorneys have litigated in the area of CFTC fraud for more than two decades with great success. 

We recently represented a successful whistleblower in an action against Cargill, the largest privately-held company in the U.S., and in another CFTC whistleblower case our client’s complaint led to the first extradition and criminal prosecution for market manipulation in history. Our firm has the resources and expertise to investigate, develop and effectively advocate for your CFTC fraud claim.

To present a CFTC fraud claim, a whistleblower needs to select a law firm that understands the complexities of the act and regulations, has a national reputation for leading CFTC claims and can present a comprehensive, well-researched complaint.
