NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) said Thursday that it has charged Optiver Holding BV, a Netherlands-based global proprietary trading fund, two of its subsidiaries, and three employees, with manipulation and attempted manipulation of New York Mercantile Exchange light sweet crude oil, New York Harbor heating oil, and New York Harbor gasoline futures contracts in March 2007.

The CFTC filed the civil enforcement action in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against Optiver Holding BV and the other defendants. The complaint alleges that defendants profited by approximately $1 million from their manipulative scheme.
"Go now, write it on a tablet for them,
inscribe it on a scroll,
so that in the days to come
it may be a witness to them, for ever and ever.
For these are a rebellious people, deceitful children,
unwilling to listen to the instructions of the Lord.
They say to their seers,
‘Do not see!’
and to the prophets,
‘Say nothing of what is right!
Tell us only things that please us,
prophesy illusions."
Isaiah 30:8-10
