其在未來違反《美國商品交易法》（CEA）及 CFTC 聯邦法規，禁止其在任何 CFTC

同意令共同了結了 CFTC 對 Ichioka 的執法行動。【參見 CFTC 新聞稿編號 8727-23】
此外，初步同意令認定，被告從 2018 年開始實施欺詐計劃，以虛假承諾吸
收投資者資金，聲稱每 30 個工作日可獲得 10%的回報。盡管 Ichioka 將部分資金
投資于外匯和數字資產商品，但他將參與者的資金與自己的資金混同，并將參與
者的資金用于個人開支，包括支付個人住宅租金、購買珠寶（包括手表）和豪華
汽車等。為掩蓋其欺詐行為，Ichioka 通過偽造財務文件并向參與者提供虛假賬

Federal Court Orders New York Man to Pay Over $36 Million for Forex and
Digital Asset Fraud (2024/9/20)
Defendant Admitted to Falsifying Financial Documents, Providing Investors
False Account Statements and Diverting Investor Funds for Personal Luxuries
The Commodity Futures Trading Commission today announced Judge Vince
Chhabria of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California entered an
order Sept. 19 assessing monetary relief totaling over $36 million against William
Koo Ichioka, a New York resident formerly of San Francisco. The order requires
Ichioka to pay $31 million in restitution to defrauded victims and a $5 million civil
monetary penalty in connection with his fraudulent foreign currency (forex) and
digital asset fraud scheme.
On Aug. 14, 2023, the court entered an initial consent order of permanent
injunction against Ichioka, prohibiting him from future violations of the Commodity
Exchange Act (CEA) and CFTC regulations and banning him from trading in any
CFTC-regulated markets and from registering with the CFTC. This initial consent
order and the order entering monetary relief announced today resolve the CFTC’s
enforcement action against Ichioka. [See CFTC Press Release No.8727-23]
