CFTC’s Notice of Allegation in the fraud complaint against Cartu Brothers and other Defendants

The U.S. CFTC filed a fraud complaint against David Cartu, Joshua Cartu, Jonathan Cartu ("Cartu Brothers"), and others in September 2020 alleging vast binary options fraud in the amount of $165 million.

Really? Canadian OSC and its dirty settlement with former Wirecard partner GMM

The Canadian-Israeli Cartu Brothers were the operators of a $165M binary options fraud scheme, according to the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). As a result, the U.S. regulator filed a fraud complaint against David Cartu, Joshua Cartu, Jonathan Cartu, and Nati Peretz, and Leeav Peretz. The Canadian regulator OSC has also taken action against the Cartu brothers for binary options fraud. But now, the Cartu Brothers can buy their way out of the OSC fraud charges for just CAD 300,000. A bargain the brothers will probably laugh about for a long time.

Legal Farce or Political Strategy? The Contradiction of Sanctions Against Russian Oligarch Mikhail Fridman!

The EU’s contradictory stance on the Russian oligarch Mikhail Fridman reveals a troubling inconsistency between political actions and legal orders. Despite the annulment of his sanctions by the EU’s own courts, Fridman remains sanctioned, and his assets frozen. This is more than a legal anomaly—it is a reflection of the deeper politicization of the sanctions process. Fridman filed a $16B lawsuit against Luxemburg.
