NFA Bars CTA for Failing to Submit to Business Conduct Examination

The National Futures Association ("NFA") permanently barred a commodity trading advisor, Samico Worldwide Markets, Inc. ("Samico"), and its sole principal and associated person, Thomas Gasparini, from NFA membership and from acting as a principal of an NFA member. The NFA issued this Decision after Mr. Gasparini refused to submit Samico to an examination by the NFA Business Conduct Committee.
