Date 06/03/2019

The mission of the CFTC’s Division of Enforcement is to protect the public and preserve market integrity by detecting, investigating, and prosecuting violations of the Commodity Exchange Act (CEA).  In pursuit of this mission, one of the Division’s priorities has been to continue to enhance coordination with our law enforcement partners.  This priority reflects good, common sense.  We know that twenty-first century bad actors do not conform their misconduct to the technical boundaries of our respective jurisdictions, nor do they pause as their conduct crosses international borders.  So we in the enforcement community must work together to meet the challenges presented by this sort of wrongdoing.  As I get started, please keep in mind that these are my own views and not necessarily those of the Commission or its staff.
