美国证券bob200体育交易委员会(Charles Schwab Corp.裸销售计划在2008年至2010年之间。SEC针对在线期货和期权经纪公司,其首席执行官以及客户的行政命令,同时与其他三名公司官员定居。直到涉嫌证券欺诈发生的18个月后,OptionsXpress才属于Schwab的所有权。bob200体育
According to the Commission’s Division of Enforcement, the Chicago-based online futures and options brokerage and clearing agency did not meet its obligations under Regulation SHO because it repeatedly took part in a number of fake “reset” transactions that were created to make it appear as if the financial firm had bought securities of “like kind and quality.” CEO/CFO Thomas Stern, who is also named in the order, is accused of taking part in these transactions that resulted in a “continuous failures to deliver” securities to a clearing agency. Such alleged actions violate Commission rules because the SEC mandates that in most cases securities reach a clearinghouse within three days after a trade happens. Otherwise, the brokerage must borrow or buy the security so that the position is closed out by the start of the next trading day at the latest.
当OptionsXpress促进其客户购买股票的同时,出售深厚的通行电话期权,这几乎相当于出售股票的短暂出售时,就发生了所谓的裸销售骗局。购买股票使它看起来好像是金融公司履行了其闭合职责,而实际上,据称在重置交易中购买的股票从未被寄给买家,因为在“购买”的那天,发生的深入拨打电话导致股票有效地转售。同样,重置交易不是实际购买,因为它们是为了使空地的短位置永久化,同时使其看起来像Reg。Sho的交付和关闭要求得到满足。结果,OptionsXpress及其客户能够参加一项股票销售计划,该计划使真正的股票购买者无法获得所有权的利益。
SEC的行政顺序也命名了一个OptionsXpress客户Jonathan I. Feldman。他被指控参加了许多涉及多个证券的虚假交易。bob200体育例如,在2009年,他购买了29亿美元的证券,同时使用他的OptionsXpress帐户出售了至少17bob200体育亿美元的期权。
OptionsXpress和Feldman打算与SEC的行政命令作斗争。
Meantime, optionsXpress trading and customer service head Peter Bottini and compliance officers Kevin Strine and Phillip Hoeh have settled the SEC’s allegations against them over the alleged naked short selling scheme. They are accused of knowing (or if they didn’t that they should have known) that the omissions or actions they committed contributed to optionsXpress violating Reg SHO. By settling, they are not denying or admitting to any wrongdoing.
