Atlantas Group Inc.和Hits所有者和总统Edmund Hysni已与美国商品期货交易委员会达成720万美元的和解。这笔钱是赔偿和民事罚款，以解决诱使欺诈的指控以及Hysni对国家期货协会的物质虚假陈述所宣称的。

According to the CFTC order, between ’06 and ’12 Atlantas and Hysni falsely represented to customers that they would be giving back about 300% of customers’ initial investments, their investment strategy was conservative and safe, and their performance history was a successful one. The charges against the firm and Hysni are related to options on futures contracts trading that took place on the Commodity Exchange and the Chicago Board of Trade.

The regulator said that contrary to the misrepresentations, Hysni and Atlantas invested clients’ funds in an out-of-the-money option spread that caused customers to suffer financial losses. Also, Atlantas is accused of collecting about 90% of clients’ losses in commissions while misrepresenting the impact of the commissions. The commissions, said the SEC, affected customer losses and profits, the trading strategy used, and how much Atlantas charged customers.

The National Futures Association has put out an emergency enforcement action againstJ Hansen Investments LLC和Jonathan Hansen, who is the financial firm’s principal. The休斯顿, Texas financial firm是商品泳池运营商和NFA成员。

对JHI和Hansen采取的NFA行动是联合责任行动和成员责任行动。休斯顿金融公司及其校长被指控在确定考试期间未与NFA合作。

NFA began an unannounced exam of JHI following the latter’s submission of its yearly questionnaire. On it, the financial firm noted that it was running as a commodity pool despite the fact that it had no commodity pools listed with the NFA, never turned in a disclosure document with the association, and lacks CFTC exemptions.
