1. M-M, Floor Broker to pay $359K (trade reporting, material omission to Exchange). In the summer of 2007, Wolverine Trading, LLC, a Market-Maker (M-M) and Floor Broker, along with an associated person, allegedly submitted a Contrary Exercise Advice (“CEA”) after the 4:30 p.m. cut-off time. They each were censured and jointly and severally fined $50K and disgorged of $159K. CBOE then became aware that Wolverine had failed to produce documents and information to the Exchange in connection with the above investigation, whereupon CBOE fined Wolverine another $150K. Ouch!
