    Date 18/03/2015

    On March 30, 1980, the rock and roll band Van Halen held a concert in the gymnasium of the University of Southern Colorado as part of its "Party 'til You Die Tour." Following the concert, the university hosted a dinner for Van Halen, with linens and silverware. According to university officials, the band "proceeded to act like a bunch of animals. They ate the lasagna with their hands, threw the food around the room, smashed the food on the walls and each other." The carpet, drapes and paint in the dining room had to be refurbished. The band's dressing room also was damaged. The university subsequently banned most campus concerts.

    Today we are finalizing a change to a rule that concerns one of the most important objectives of the Commission, which is to protect customer funds. In addition, today’s action reflects one of my key priorities since taking office, which is to make sure our rules do not impose undue burdens or unintended consequences for the nonfinancial commercial businesses that depend on the derivatives markets to hedge commercial risks.

  • Statement Of CFTC Commissioner Mark P. Wetjen In Support Of Adoption Of Amendments To CFTC Regulation 1.22 (Residual Interest Deadline For Futures Commission Merchants)

    Date 18/03/2015

    In the fall of 2013, the Commission made some important changes to rule 1.22, to which registered futures commission merchants (FCMs) are subject. The revision to this rule, known as the “residual-interest requirement”, clarified that one customer’s funds could not be used by an FCM to cover another customer’s margin deficit, but phased in a deadline for stricter compliance with this clarified standard. The change was designed to reduce risks to those customer funds placed in the care of FCMs, and were among a host of regulatory enhancements adopted by the Commission after two failures of large, registered FCMs in 2011 and 2012 – MF Global and Peregrine Financial.
