Theodore Purdy v. Commodity Futures Trading Commission
Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit
Decided August 17, 1992No. 91-4454PublishedCited by 18 opinions
1Opinion of the Court
JOHN R. BROWN, Circuit Judge:
This dispute arose from a complaint to the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC” or “Commission”) by an elderly investor who lost a fortune investing (one might say gambling) in precious metal leverage contracts. After a judgment for the broker house by an Administrative Law Judge (“ALT”), and subsequent summary-affirmation by the Commission, the investor appeals to this court. Finding his complaints more at issue with the present state of the law, and not with any actual violations, we affirm the decision of the Commission.
