CFTC Commissioner Jill E. Sommers’ Concurrence In The Matter Of Gelber Group LLC And Martin A. Lorenzen

Date 08/02/2013

I applaud the Division of Enforcement (“DOE”) for bringing this case against Gelber and its former employee Lorenzen and I concur with the recommendation put forth by the DOE. However, given that there were other individuals engaged in the conduct at issue, I must state my firm belief that taking aggressive action against allindividuals engaged in violations of the Act and Regulations is the best deterrent to breaches of our Act and Regulations. As Commissioner Chilton explains in his dissent, these are very serious violations of federal law and should be treated as such.

Date 08/02/2013

While I concur in the terms of the settlement in this matter with regard to the findings of violations and the non-monetary components of the settlement order, I respectfully dissent as to the amount of the civil monetary penalty (CMP). A CMP of $200,000 is wholly inadequate as a penalty for the wash sale activity that Mr. Martin A. Lorenzen directed and oversaw while acting as a manager at the Gelber Group LLC.
