None of those officials were told what they had done wrong. But current & former agency staffers said in interviews that the commission’s work force took away a clear message: Don’t cause trouble for those industries.
The suspensions were just one of many ways in which the #CFTC, the primary #regulator of a specialized sector of the #FinancialMarkets, has been mowed down by the #powerful #business interests it is supposed to oversee, a NYT investigation found.

By Christmas, the agency had put 2 top officials who had raised questions about the companies on leave, barred them from the office & placed them under internal investigation. 3 other senior officials who had enforced laws involving #cryptocurrencies — another industry linked to the #Trumps — suffered the same fate.

Senior career officials worried about whether Crypto.com was treating small #bettors fairly. They feared that a second firm, #Polymarket, did not have strong enough protections against #fraud. A third, an offshoot of the #crypto firm #Gemini, had yet to pass the agency’s required review to open for business.

A growing portion of the agency’s portfolio, prediction markets allow Americans to bet on everything from whether the US will take over Cuba to what color tie Trump will wear next. The moneymaking opportunities were breathtaking, but the companies’ practices were causing a stir.

The trades look "well informed" as they preceded major announcements, said Adi Imsirovic, from the Center for Strategic and International Studies (#CSIS), & a veteran #oil trader. #US authorities, such as the #CFTC, can access #exchange data to trace who placed the trades & investigate if it decides to, he added.
The CFTC’s enforcement director said in March the agency was aware of speculation regarding #InsiderTrading in CFTC-regulated #markets & was “watching”. -
…However, a further analysis of #trading data across exchanges & contracts showed traders executed similar bets at exactly the same dates & times for European #diesel & #US #gasoline #futures as well as longer-dated contracts for Brent & WTI, bringing the total to around $7 billion, based on Reuters calculations.
