  • Statement Of CFTC Commissioner Kristin N. Johnson: The Continuing Surge Of Forex Investment Fraud

    Date 28/09/2023

    Today the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) announced the filing of a complaint in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan against Darren Robinson and his company The QYU Holdings Inc.  According to the complaint, the Defendants engaged in a type of fraud that has become all too common lately: foreign currency (forex) investment scams.  The Defendants solicited the public to join a commodity pool for the purpose of investing in leveraged, margined, or financed forex pairs and forex futures contracts.  Rather than invest the money in forex as promised, Robinson instead invested it in luxury cruises, vehicles, real property, airfare, and other daily expenses for himself.  Of the roughly $7 million that he received from 30 victims, about $1.2 million was used to make payments to earlier investors as “profits” of the trading, in the manner of a Ponzi scheme.

  • Federal Reserve: Senior Credit Officer Opinion Survey On Dealer Financing Terms

    Date 28/09/2023

    The Senior Credit Officer Opinion Survey on Dealer Financing Terms (SCOOS) is a quarterly survey providing information about the availability and terms of credit in securities financing and over-the counter (OTC) derivatives markets. The SCOOS is modeled after the long-established Senior Loan Officer Opinion Survey on Bank Lending Practices, which provides qualitative information about changes in supply and demand for loans to households and businesses at commercial banks. The SCOOS collects qualitative information on credit terms and conditions in securities financing and OTC derivatives markets, which are important conduits for leverage in the financial system. The survey panel for the SCOOS began by including 20 dealers and over time has been expanded. These firms account for almost all of the dealer activity in dollar-denominated securities financing and OTC derivatives markets. The survey is directed to senior credit officers responsible for maintaining a consolidated perspective on the management of credit risks.
