  • Concurring Statement Of CFTC Commissioner Bowen On The Final Interpretation Concerning Embedded Volumetric Optionality

    Date 13/05/2015

    Today we are approving a final interpretation regarding forward contracts with embedded optionality.

  • Remarks Of CFTC Chairman Timothy Massad Before The Energy Risk Summit USA 2015

    Date 13/05/2015

    Thank you for inviting me today, and I thank Paul for that kind introduction. It’s a pleasure to be here. I say that in particular because I lived here as a child and still have family here. My father worked in the oil industry, and so we lived in many of the well-known oil towns in this country, including Midland, Texas and Morgan City, Louisiana, in addition to Houston.

  • Keynote Speech At New York City Bar 4th Annual White Collar Institute, Andrew Ceresney, Director, SEC Division Of Enforcement, May 12, 2015

    Date 12/05/2015

    1. Introduction

    Thank you for that kind introduction.  At the outset, let me give the requisite reminder that the views I express today are my own and do not necessarily represent the views of the Commission or its staff.

    I am very excited to be here in New York and am honored to be part of this terrific program.  Today I am going to talk about something that I am sure is of interest to this audience, if today's program is any indication – and close to my heart as a trial lawyer and former prosecutor – and that is the SEC’s national litigation program.  I plan to give an overview of the SEC’s litigation program and some of the recent success we’ve enjoyed – including in a few important areas that don’t usually get much exposure – as well as some of the challenges we face in our tougher cases.  I then will then turn to the question of the forum in which we bring our litigated cases, discussing some of the factors that we use in making recommendations to the Commission of a forum for litigation.  As you will see, my bottom line is that the Enforcement Division has been very successful litigating cases, in each available forum, despite the challenges we face at trial,
