NFA bars Christian Robert Mayer, a former associated person, from membership
August 14, Chicago—NFA has permanently barred Christian Robert Mayer from membership and from acting as a principal of an NFA Member. Mayer was an associated person of Northstar Commodity Investment Co. LLC, an NFA Member introducing broker and commodity trading advisor in Minneapolis, Minn.
The Decision, issued by NFA's Business Conduct Committee (BCC), is based on a Complaint authorized by the BCC on August 11, 2017, and a settlement offer submitted by Mayer.
The BCC found that Mayer engaged in unauthorized trading and transferred profitable trades from customer accounts to his personal trading account while leaving losing trades in customer accounts.
The complete text of the Complaint and Decision can be viewed on NFA's website.
