CME Group suspends trader for failing to appear at interview regarding spoofing investigation
International derivatives marketplace CME Group has posted a notice of disciplinary action against Aleksander Jancic.
On March 6, 2025, the Chief Regulatory Officer issued charges against Aleksander Jancic for violating CME Rule 432.L.1. based on allegations that on December 12, 2024, Jancic failed to appear at a scheduled staff interview in connection with a Spoofing investigation.
On July 1, 2025, a Hearing Panel Chair of the CME Business Conduct Committee found that Jancic failed to submit a written answer to the charges issued against him and that Jancic was deemed to have admitted the charges. Jancic therefore waived his right to a hearing on the merits of the charges.
Pursuant to CME Rule 408.F., a BCC Panel found Jancic guilty of committing the admitted charge and held a penalty hearing thereafter.
Based on the record and the Panel’s findings and conclusions, the Panel ordered Jancic to pay a fine in the amount of $50,000 and permanently suspended Jancic from direct access to any trading floor owned or controlled by CME Group and from direct or indirect access to any designated contract market, derivatives clearing organization, or swap execution facility owned or controlled by CME Group.
The effective date of the disciplinary notice is July 22, 2025.
