FINDINGS:

Pursuant to an offer of settlement that Hua Dong (“Hua”) presented at a hearing on September 30, 2015, in which Hua 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 Hua 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 Hua, 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, Hua pre-arranged and executed numerous round turn transactions, which resulted in the transfer of $11,800 from an account owned by Hua to a second account, as well as permitted another individual to enter orders using her own Tag50. Hua also failed to appear before Exchange staff for a scheduled interview.

The Panel concluded that Hua violated Exchange Rules 432.G., 432.L.1., 432.Q., and 576.

PENALTY:

In accordance with the settlement offer, the Panel ordered Hua to (1) pay a fine to the Exchange in the amount of $10,000; and (2) serve a 6 month 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 April 2, 2016.
