The CFTC, like the SEC and many other government agencies, is fully entitled to utilize the administrative legal system for adjudication of its enforcement actions against those committing fraud in the commodities and futures markets. It is hardly worthy of note that those who commit fraud should fret over such tools. SEC and CFTC whistleblowers are transforming how fraud is detected and punished. In some instances these whistleblowers are changing abusive market practices. Many of those whistleblowers are clients of Hagens Berman.
