Reporting Commodities Market Fraud

The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) Whistleblower Program provides a way for individuals to report fraud and misconduct in the commodities and futures markets. At the Law Offices of Peter Katz, we help whistleblowers navigate the process of reporting market manipulation, insider trading, and other fraudulent activities, ensuring they receive the legal protection and rewards they deserve.

What is the CFTC Whistleblower Program?

The CFTC Whistleblower Program encourages individuals to come forward with information about violations of commodities laws, including fraudulent practices in futures trading, swaps, and derivatives markets. The program offers substantial financial rewards to whistleblowers who provide information that leads to successful enforcement actions.

Key components of the CFTC Whistleblower Program include:

• Rewards: Whistleblowers may receive 10% and 30% of the monetary sanctions collected due to their information.
• Protection Against Retaliation: The CFTC protects whistleblowers who face retaliation for reporting fraudulent activity. This includes protection from employment-related retaliation.

Types of Fraud in the Commodities Markets

Whistleblowers may report a variety of illegal activities under the CFTC Whistleblower Program, including:

• Market Manipulation: This involves manipulating the prices of commodities through fraudulent or deceptive practices.
• Insider Trading: Using non-public information to gain an unfair advantage in commodities trading.
• Ponzi Schemes: Defrauding investors in commodities markets by using funds from new investors to pay returns to previous investors.
• False Reporting: Providing false or misleading information regarding market activities or prices.
