CFTC Says Customer Information Disclosed Improperly

The CFTC filed an amended Complaint in its pending enforcement action (see: U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission v. William Byrnes, et al.) naming Ron Eibschutz as a Defendant in its ongoing case against the New York Mercantile Exchange, Inc. and two former CME NYMEX employees. The amended Complaint charges CME NYMEX, Byrnes, and Curtin with making repeated disclosures during a two and a half year period of material nonpublic customer information to Eibschutz, an outside commodity broker who was not authorized to receive the information. Eibschutz is charged with aiding and abetting the violations.
