On March 16, 2009, NFA issued a Complaint charging Pioneer and Bobba with acting with reckless indifference and failing to adequately supervise.

ANSWER:

On April 20, 2009, Pioneer and Bobba filed an Answer to the Complaint in which they denied the material allegations contained therein.

DECISION:

On August 27, 2009, Pioneer was ordered to immediately withdraw from NFA membership and is permanently barred from NFA membership and from acting as a principal of an NFA Member. Bobba was ordered to immediately withdraw from NFA associate membership and as a principal of Pioneer and not apply for NFA membership or associate membership for 24 months, or act as a principal of an NFA Member for 36 months.

If, after the 24-month membership bar, Bobba applies for NFA membership or associate membership, or seeks to become a principal of an NFA Member, he was ordered to pay a $25,000 fine, due and payable at the time he makes such application. Until such time as Bobba pays this fine in full, no action will be taken to process his application.
