DOCKET NUMBER: STIPULATION 119 

DATE: DECEMBER 1, 1970 

DOCUMENT TYPE: STIPULATION OF COMPLIANCE 

UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE 

BEFORE THE SECRETARY OF AGRICULTURE 

In re: Irwin Goldman 

Stipulation of Compliance Under the Commodity Exchange Act No. 119 

The Secretary of Agriculture has reason to believe that Irwin Goldman has 

violated the provisions of the Commodity Exchange Act (7 U.S.C., Chapter 1) and 

the regulations of the Secretary of Agriculture promulgated thereunder (17 CFR, 

Chapter 1). No complaint with respect to such violations has been issued and 

the said Irwin Goldman is desirous of disposing of the matter by entering into a 

stipulation of compliance as authorized by section 0.4(a) of the Rules of 

Practice under the Commodity Exchange Act (17 CFR, Part 0). Therefore, the said 

Irwin Goldman for the purposes of this stipulation of compliance and 

administrative proceedings under the Commodity Exchange Act and for such 

purposes only, stipulates the following facts are true: 

(1) Irwin Goldman an individual whose address is 141 W. Jackson Blvd., 

Chicago, Illinois 60604 is now and was at all times material herein a registered 

floor broker under the Commodity Exchange Act and a member of the Chicago 

Mercantile Exchange, a duly designated contract market under the Commodity 

Exchange Act. 

(2) The futures transactions hereinafter referred to relate to pork belly 

futures contracts on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange. Each of such contracts 

called for the delivery of 30,000 pounds of pork bellies. Such contracts could 

have been used for hedging transactions in interstate commerce in pork bellies, 

or for determining 

the price basis of transactions in interstate commerce in pork bellies, or for 

delivering pork bellies, sold, shipped, or received in interstate commerce. 

(3) On February 13, 1969, Irwin Goldman took the opposite side of a 

customer's order for the purchase of three contracts of March pork bellies 

noncompetitively without obtaining the prior consent of such customer. The 

purchase was made by Irwin Goldman for a customer of Andco, Inc. The opposite 

side of the transaction was made by Irwin Goldman for his own account at S&R 

Commodities. 

On February 13, 1969, Irwin Goldman purchased four contracts of March pork 

bellies for customers of B. J. Lind & Company and four contracts of March pork 

bellies for customers of A. G. Edwards & Sons, Inc. All such trades were made 

with Lawrence M. Rosenberg. Irwin Goldman prepared false records to show that 

such trades were made with a different broker. 

The Commodity Exchange Authority has advised Irwin Goldman that his actions 

as described above, were in violation of section(s) 4b and 4g of the Commodity 

Exchange Act and section(s) 1.35 and 1.38 of the regulations under the Commodity 

Exchange Act.

The said Irwin Goldman agrees to desist from such acts and practices in the 

future. He further understands and agrees that this stipulation, which the 

Secretary of Agriculture is accepting only as to the acts and practices set 

forth above, shall be admissible as evidence of such acts and practices in any 

future proceeding based upon acts or practices occurring subsequent to the date 

of his signing of this stipulation of compliance which may be brought against 

him by the Secretary of Agriculture under the provisions of the said Act. He 

also understands that it is the practice of the Commodity Exchange Authority to 

issue press releases on stipulations of compliance and to make them a matter of 

public record.
