CFTC records in this library

US Commodity Futures Trading Commission. The US regulator of futures, swaps and related derivatives, which publishes a press release for each enforcement action.

This library holds 338 CFTC records, filed between 2013-01-28 and 2026-08-28, drawn from 1 source. They are records of documents the CFTC published, not a count of everything it did, and the gaps listed below say what is missing.

"Checked" means an AI agent compared the record with the regulator's own document; no lawyer has reviewed it. A penalty counts only where the document states one.

Sources

First and last dates are the earliest and latest filing dates among the records from each source, so they show what was collected, not when the source began or ended.

CFTC enforcement press releases collected from 2013	338	2013-01-28	2026-08-28	The Commission's enforcement action index and the press releases it links. Headlines usually name the respondent, the conduct and the amount, which helps extraction.	Anything before 2013. Releases that describe no technique are skipped. Annual results announcements and other non-case notices are filtered out by a gate (some earlier ones were deleted). The release date is the publication date, which can be a day after the order it announces.

Records per year

Filing year is when the document was published. The collection window starts in 2013 for the standing sources, so earlier years are thin by design, and the latest year is partial.

Technique mix, top eight

A record can carry more than one technique, so the bars can add to more than the record count.

"Alleged, no outcome recorded" means the record shows a filing and no outcome has been found in the sources read so far; it does not mean the matter is still open.

Known gaps

Records start in 2013 and the unit is the press release, not the court or order record. (from scripts/ingest/backfill.mjs; src/content/pages/sources.mdx)
The National Futures Association's disciplinary system is not collected: its robots.txt disallows the directory where it lives. (from DECISIONS.md section 31; src/content/pages/sources.mdx)
Some summary-style and non-case announcements were stored as cases in the past; five were deleted and a gate now stops new ones, but a few remain flagged for a decision. (from DECISIONS.md section 35)
Criminal prosecutions are not collected as records of their own; the criminal-parallel flag marks only what the CFTC release says. (from src/content/pages/sources.mdx (Department of Justice))
