Illinois broker Mark Miller and his investment firm, Foremost Trading LLC, have agreed to pay $1.1 million to settle claims brought by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”). The payment consists of $450,000 in fines and $700,000 in restitution. Additionally, Miller is suspended from trading on any CFTC-designated exchange, all other CFTC-registered entities, and all commodity interests for a period of two years.
If the regulators are after you, and are trying to make a case against you, and you are going to contest their allegations against you, make sure you have the best securities industry defense lawyers, Eccleston Law Firm. My case was spun into a combination of penalties including fines, cash settlements, CE courses and suspension. They were the best I have seen in action. When all was said and done, they had done their magic, my situation was negotiated and settled with a simple "letter of caution" and a case closed without action. It is the most important legal business decision you will ever make, make it Eccleston Law.
