The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) issued a cease and desist order against Potamus Trading LLC and its former CEO, Eric J. Pritchett. According to the SEC, Potamus and Pritchett “portrayed the firm as filling its clients’ orders on a principal basis by trading from its own inventory of securities or risking its capital in the market.” However, the SEC said that the firm “filled the vast majority of its clients’ orders by engaging in net trading” and “rarely traded from inventory or risked its capital[.]” The SEC alleged that this conduct took place between September 2013 and March 2017.
