Case: 1:18-cv-00603 Document #: 134 Filed: 04/07/22 Page 4 of 18 PageID #:765

THE PARTIES AGREE TO THE ENTRY OF THIS ORDER AND THE COURT HEREBY 

FINDS:

A. Findings of Fact

16. Plaintiff Commodity Futures Trading Commission is an independent federal 

regulatory agency that is charged by Congress with administering and enforcing the Act and the 

Regulations.

17. Defendant was employed by Bank A as a trader from at least 2008 to December 

2013. For the duration of this time period, Bank A, together with its subsidiaries and affiliates, 

was one of the largest global banking and financial services companies in the world. Bank A had 

operations in the United States and around the world. 

18. Bank A operated a global commodities trading business that included the trading 

of precious metals futures contracts. Bank A’s primary precious metals futures trading desks 

were located in Singapore, London and New York.

19. Defendant was employed as a trader on the precious metals desk in London at 

Bank A from at least 2008 until May 2011. In May 2011, Chanu moved to the precious metals 

desk in Singapore at Bank A, where he remained a trader until December 2013. Defendant has 

never been registered with the Commission in any capacity. Defendant is a French national 

domiciled in the United Arab Emirates. 

20. Beginning in at least July 2011 and continuing through at least July 2013 (the

“Relevant Period”), Chanu engaged in a manipulative and deceptive scheme while placing orders 

and trading in the precious metals futures markets on a registered entity (“the Scheme”). 

Specifically, in furtherance of the Scheme, Chanu repeatedly engaged in manipulative or 

deceptive acts and practices by “spoofing” (bidding or offering with the intent to cancel the bid 

Case: 1:18-cv-00603 Document #: 134 Filed: 04/07/22 Page 5 of 18 PageID #:766
6

or offer before execution). On numerous occasions, Chanu placed orders for COMEX gold, 

silver, platinum or palladium futures contracts that he wanted to get filled (the “Genuine Order”) 

and entered orders for the same contract on the opposite side of the market that he intended to 

cancel before execution (the “Spoof Order”). In placing these Spoof Orders, Defendant Chanu

intentionally or recklessly sent signals of increased supply or demand to induce market 

participants into executing against the orders Chanu wanted to get filled. 

21. During the Relevant Period, Chanu engaged in the Scheme, which followed the 

general pattern set forth herein. Chanu, both individually and in coordination with other traders 

at Bank A, manually placed Spoof Orders for precious metals futures contracts with the CME 

through Globex, which he intended to cancel before execution, opposite Genuine Orders for 

precious metals futures contracts, which he desired to execute. For example, Chanu would enter 

Genuine Orders as Iceberg Orders with small quantities visible to the market, and within a short 

time thereafter, placed visibly larger Spoof Orders on the other side of the Order Book. Chanu’s

Spoof Orders were often placed within 5 ticks behind the best price so as to reduce the likelihood 

of them being filled. The Spoof Orders also were typically at least 10 lots, and were often placed 

and cancelled within a 5 second window. Chanu intended to cancel the Spoof Orders before 

execution, and often did so after the Genuine Orders were filled.

22. By engaging in the Scheme as described herein, Defendant entered Spoof Orders 

to intentionally send a signal to the market that he actually wanted to buy or sell the number of

contracts specified in the Spoof Orders, or did so while recklessly disregarding the fact that

entering his Spoof Orders would send such a signal—a signal that injected information about 

supply and demand into the market that could affect market activity. Defendant engaged in this 

Scheme to induce other market participants into executing against his or his colleagues’ Genuine 

Case: 1:18-cv-00603 Document #: 134 Filed: 04/07/22 Page 6 of 18 PageID #:767
7

Orders on the opposite side of the market—allowing them to fill sooner, at a better price, or in 

larger quantities than they otherwise would. Defendant knew or recklessly disregarded that the 

Spoof Orders would create the appearance of market depth and result in misinformation, thereby 

luring market participants to trade based on Defendant’s spoofing. The risk that the Spoof 

Orders could cause other market participants to believe there was genuine interest in purchasing 

or selling the specified number of contracts represented by Defendant’s Spoof Orders was so 

obvious that Defendant must have been aware of it. He knew that his Spoof Orders would 

appear in the Order Book and that traders often consider order-book information in making 

trading decisions; thus, Defendant was, at least, reckless with respect to the danger that his Spoof 

Orders would affect other market participants.

Examples of Chanu’s spoofing include the following:

May 23, 2013 Spoofing

23. On May 23, 2013, at 1:05:45.122, Chanu placed a 96-lot Genuine Order that was

an Iceberg Order showing 1 lot to the market to buy June delivery Gold Futures at $1374.10. At

the time, $1374.10 was 5 ticks off of the best bid in the market.

24. The Genuine Order continued to sit unfilled and then at 01:07:55.630, Chanu

placed a 100-lot Spoof Order 2 ticks away from the best offer to sell June delivery Gold Futures

at $1374.60, which he intended to cancel before execution.

25. Just before placing the 100-lot Spoof Order, the visible volume on the offer side

was 62 contracts with no price level exceeding 15 contracts. Chanu’s 100-lot offer more than

doubled the visible volume on the offer side and almost doubled the visible bid volume.

Case: 1:18-cv-00603 Document #: 134 Filed: 04/07/22 Page 7 of 18 PageID #:768
8

26. Chanu’s 1-lot Genuine Order to buy at $1374.10 was filled approximately 1.2

seconds after the placement of his 100-lot Spoof Order to sell, after pending in the market for

over 2 minutes.

27. At 01:07:57.865, a half second after filling his Genuine Order, Chanu cancelled

his 100-lot Spoof Order in its entirety.

June 2, 2013 Spoofing

28. On June 2, 2013, at 19:52:13.056, Chanu placed a 50-lot Genuine Order that was

an Iceberg Order showing 1 lot to the market to sell August-delivery Gold Futures at $1395.60. 

At the time of placement, the Genuine Order was at the best price level.

29. The Genuine Order sat pending for over 3 minutes, at which point Chanu placed a

100-lot Spoof Order to buy August-delivery Gold Futures at $1395.3 that he intended to cancel

before execution.

30. At the time of placement, the Spoof Order to buy was 1 tick away from the best

bid.

31. At the time Chanu placed the 100-lot Spoof Order, the total visible buy-side order

volume was 116 lots. His Spoof Order, therefore, increased the visible sell-side volume by

almost 50%.

32. Almost immediately, Chanu’s Genuine Order filled 3 contracts.

33. Approximately 1 second later, Chanu cancelled his 100-lot Spoof Order in its

entirety.
