The Futures Industry Association today issued a statement from FIA President John Damgard regarding the announcement that Gregory Mocek will leave the Commodity Futures Trading Commission after eight years as the director of the CFTC’s enforcement division and return to private practice.
“On behalf of the futures industry, I would like to thank Greg Mocek for his exceptional contributions to the CFTC and the industry as the head of the agency’s enforcement division since 2002. He served under four different chairmen and oversaw some of the biggest enforcement cases in the agency’s history. It’s no wonder that the CFTC has earned a reputation around the world as tough on manipulation. The futures industry continues to fully support the mission of CFTC to keep our markets free from manipulation and we are confident that the enforcement division will continue to carry on its fine work under the leadership of Chairman Lukken and his fellow commissioners.
