The CFTC mission statement is:

>"The mission of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission is to promote the integrity, resilience, and vibrancy of the U.S. derivatives markets through sound regulation."

I don't see how punishing customers accomplishes that goal.



Let's read that carefully, now.

The CFTC provides "sound regulation," not insurance. Insurance protects customers. Regulation by the CFTC is meant to protect "the U.S. derivatives markets." They aren't there to protect customers.

If the customers wanted a safe investment, they should have used an insured vehicle for that.
