FINDINGS:

Pursuant to an offer of settlement that Yongwu Shao (“Yongwu”) presented at a hearing on September 30, 2015, in which Yongwu neither admitted nor denied the factual allegations or rule violations upon which the penalty is based, a Panel of the NYMEX Business Conduct Committee (“Panel”) found that Yongwu consented to the jurisdiction of the Exchange for the time period of November 2009 through November 2010 and that, for the time period of March 2013, it had jurisdiction over Yongwu, pursuant to Exchange Rules 402 and 418. The Panel further found that on multiple trade dates during the time period of November 2009 to November 2010 and during March 2013, Yongwu pre-arranged and executed multiple round turn transactions, which resulted in the transfer of $23,900 from an account owned by Yongwu to a second account. Additionally, during this time period, Yongwu permitted another individual to enter orders using his own Tag50.

The Panel concluded that Yongwu violated Exchange Rules 432.G., 432.Q., and 576.

PENALTY:

In accordance with the settlement offer, the Panel ordered Yongwu to (1) pay a fine to the Exchange in the amount of $20,000; and (2) serve a 10 business day suspension from (a) applying for membership at any CME Group exchange; (b) direct or indirect access to all electronic trading and clearing platforms owned or controlled by the CME Group Inc., including CME Globex; and (c) access to any trading floor owned or controlled by any CME Group, Inc. exchange. The suspension shall run from October 2, 2015 through and including October 15, 2015.
