COMPLAINT:
On December 23, 2011, NFA issued a Complaint charging Russo with deceiving commodity futures customers; making false reports to customers; exercising discretion without written authority; and failing to uphold high standards of commercial honor and just and equitable principles of trade. The Complaint charged OFI with failing to implement an adequate AML program. Finally, the Complaint charged OFI, Malman and Bodenshok with failing to supervise.
ANSWER:
On January 19, 2012, OFI, Malman and Bodenshok filed an Answer to the Complaint in which they denied the material allegations contained therein.
DECISION:
On April 27, 2012, pursuant to a settlement offer submitted by OFI, Malman and Bodenshok, OFI and Malman were ordered to be jointly and severally liable for the payment of a $100,000 fine. OFI and Malman were also ordered to adopt and execute specific undertakings related to: reviewing commission-to equity ratios on a firm-wide and individual account basis for compliance with NFA Requirements and taking appropriate remedial action in the event that such action is warranted; and implementing procedures to ensure that customer contacts are made in a manner that is subject to supervision by OFI. Bodenshok was ordered, for two years from the date of the Decision, not to be employed in a compliance related capacity by any NFA Member unless her compliance related duties are supervised.
Further, at NFA's request, Count III of the Complaint was dismissed. | | | |
