CFTC Permanently Revokes Ted Brent Alexander’s CTA and AP Registrations

The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) today issued a notice and order revoking the registrations of Ted Brent Alexander of Jackson, Mississippi.

The CFTC action is based on Alexander’s guilty plea to conspiracy to commit wire fraud in a federal criminal case.

Since October 2008, Alexander has been registered with the CFTC as a Commodity Trading Advisor (CTA) and Associated Person (AP).

On April 26, 2003, Alexander pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud. On November 13, 2023, a judgment of conviction was pronounced against Alexandru.

Because Alexander’s guilty plea involved a crime involving one or more of embezzlement, theft, fraud, fraudulent conversion, misappropriation of funds, securities or property, and/or false pretenses, federal commodity laws allow for permanent revocation of registrations to Alexander.

The CFTC’s order finds that Alexander is subject to statutory disqualification from registration with the CFTC under Section 8a(2)(D)(iii) of the CEA and permanently revokes Alexander’s registrations pursuant to the terms of the order.

Alexander, who admits to the allegations in the Notice of Intent, has consented to the entry of a CFTC order revoking its registrations as CTA and AP.
