Federal Court Orders Former Head of International Binary Options Scheme to Pay More than $561,000 in Restitution

The Commodity Futures Trading Commission today announced the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Ohio entered a consent order on April 27 for a permanent injunction, restitution, and equitable relief against Jared J. Davis, a former resident of Ohio. Davis, at times, conducted business as Erie Marketing, LLC.

The consent order resolves a CFTC action filed on September 17, 2019. [See CFTC Press Release No. 8018-19]. The complaint alleged, among other things, that Davis defrauded customers through a global binary options business he created and operated.

The order requires Davis to pay $561,971 in restitution to victims of the fraudulent scheme. The order also permanently prohibits Davis from engaging in further violations of the Commodity Exchange Act and CFTC regulations, as charged, and imposes permanent registration and trading bans.

Case Background

The order finds that, from approximately July 2012 through June 2016, Davis fraudulently solicited and accepted approximately $10 million from customers in the U. S. and elsewhere to trade off-exchange binary options on commodities, forex, individual stocks and stock indices. According to the order, Davis executed his scheme through internet marketing campaigns, various websites, and call centers using tradenames such as Option Mint, Option King, and Option Queen. The order also finds Davis defrauded customers by making misrepresentations and omissions of material facts, including failing to disclose that he effectively took the opposing position on each trade and failing to disclose that he frequently had the trading platforms manipulate the options trading software settings to increase the odds of customer losses.

The CFTC cautions that orders requiring repayment of funds to victims may not result in the recovery of any money lost because the wrongdoers may not have sufficient funds or assets. The CFTC will continue to fight vigorously for the protection of customers and to ensure the wrongdoers are held accountable.

Related Criminal Matter and SEC Actions

In a separate action, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of Ohio charged Davis with three counts of tax evasion, and his company, Erie Marketing, LLC, with 11 counts of wire fraud. The superseding information was based on much of the same conduct alleged in the CFTC’s complaint. United States v. Davis, No. 3:18-cr-225-JZ (N.D. Ohio). Davis pleaded guilty to 11 counts of wire fraud on behalf of Erie Marketing, LLC and to three counts of tax evasion individually. On January 27, he was sentenced to 30 months of incarceration followed by three years of supervised release. He was also ordered to pay a $300,000 fine, $1,039,208 in restitution to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), and to be jointly and severally liable for the debts of Erie Marketing, LLC, including $656,493.20 in restitution to victims and a $4.4 million fine.

In addition to the criminal action, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) charged Davis in a related enforcement action and entered into a partial settlement against him on February 22, 2019, providing that the court will determine disgorgement and civil penalties at a later date. The SEC’s action remains pending. SEC v. Davis, No. 3:18-cv-2829-JZ (N.D. Ohio).

The CFTC appreciates the assistance of the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of Ohio, the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Cleveland Field Office, the IRS Criminal Investigation, and the SEC.

The Division of Enforcement staff members responsible for this case are Christine Ryall, Danielle Karst, Jason Gizzarelli, Kyong G. Koh, Paul G. Hayeck, as well as former staff member Peter Haas.

SEC väcker åtal mot Jared Jeffrey Davis för bedrägeri med binära optioner

United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) idag tillkännager att den har anklagat Jared Jeffrey Davis och hans affärspartner Dale Burke Pinchot för att ha lurat investerare i samband med en oregistrerad binär optionsaffär.

Enligt SEC:s klagomål var Davis och Pinchot engagerade i det bedrägliga erbjudandet och försäljningen av oregistrerade binära optioner under varumärkena OptionMint, OptionKing, Option Queen och OptionPrince. I klagomålet hävdas vidare att Davis felaktigt framställt antalet investerare som framgångsrikt handlat binära optioner och misslyckats med att avslöja att en investerare skulle behöva vinna en osannolikt hög andel av affärerna för att lyckas.

Davis, Pinchot och deras företag sägs ha intagit den motsatta positionen på varje handel och därför tjänat pengar när kunder gick med på att förlora binära optioner. Klagomålet hävdar också att Davis misslyckades med att informera investerare om att han ofta manipulerade programvaran för optionshandel för att öka oddsen för investerarnas förluster.

SEC:s klagomål anklagar Davis för att ha brutit mot bedrägeribekämpningsbestämmelserna i avsnitt 17(a) i Securities Act från 1933 och avsnitt 10(b) i Securities Exchange Act från 1934 och regel 10b-5 därunder, registreringsbestämmelserna i avsnitt 5(a) ) och 5(c) i Securities Act, och mäklar- och återförsäljarregistreringsbestämmelserna i Section 15(a)(1) of the Exchange Act och anklagar Pinchot för att ha brutit mot bedrägeribekämpningsbestämmelsen Section 17(a)(2) i Securities Act. .

Utan att erkänna eller förneka SEC:s anklagelser, samtyckte de tilltalade till införandet av domar som permanent ålägger dem att bryta mot ovannämnda bestämmelser i de federala värdepapperslagarna och från att delta i utfärdandet, köpet, erbjudandet, försäljningen eller marknadsföringen av någon binär option säkerhet. De slutgiltiga domarna föreskriver att domstolen kommer att besluta om utslag och civilrättsliga påföljder vid ett senare tillfälle. Förlikningen är föremål för domstols godkännande.

USA:s åklagarkontor för Northern District of Ohio meddelade åtal mot Davis i juni i år. Enligt åtalet drev Davis och andra ett bedrägligt investeringsprogram för binära optioner mellan 2012 och 2016 genom Erie Marketing LLC, med huvudkontor i Sandusky, där Davis var involverad i olika fastighetsprojekt och företag. Optionsbranschen använde olika handelsnamn, inklusive OptionMint, OptionKing och OptionQueen. Davis binära optioner var inte registrerade hos Securities and Exchange Commission eller Commodity Futures Trading Commission, förklarade justitiedepartementet.
