It alleged that they raised more than <\/span><b>$14 million<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> from investors while concealing heavy trading losses across futures, options, and crypto assets.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to a complaint filed in federal court, Trevor L. Vernon and Argent Capital Management LLC allegedly solicited funds from at least <\/span><b>60 investors<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. They did so by portraying the investment pool as consistently profitable. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is despite suffering millions of dollars in losses and operating what the CFTC described as a Ponzi-like scheme.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>CFTC alleges fake returns masked heavy trading losses<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The CFTC alleges that between <\/span><b>March 2022 and February 2026<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, Vernon and Argent Capital Management accepted more than <\/span><b>$14.8 million<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> from investors through a commodity pool known as Argent Capital Partners LP. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The fund purportedly invested in equity index futures, options, crypto assets, and other investments.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cftc.gov\/PressRoom\/PressReleases\/9264-26\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the complaint<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, the defendants repeatedly claimed Vernon was a successful trader. They distributed monthly performance updates, quarterly account statements, and Schedule K-1 tax forms showing growing profits that did not exist.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Instead, regulators allege Vernon incurred substantial and consistent trading losses while continuing to present investors with false account balances.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The CFTC further alleges that some investor funds were used to make payments to earlier participants in a Ponzi-like scheme designed to conceal the fund&#8217;s losses.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Crypto formed part of broader investment strategy<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While the complaint centers primarily on commodity futures and options trading, regulators say the fund also promoted investments in cryptocurrencies and blockchain-related opportunities.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The complaint alleges Vernon deposited at least <\/span><b>$446,000<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> of investor funds into personal accounts at two crypto exchanges, where he traded assets including Bitcoin and Ether.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Those transactions allegedly resulted in losses exceeding <\/span><b>$108,000<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.

Vernon allegedly solicited investors without the required registration. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The complaint also accuses Vernon of making false statements under oath during the regulator&#8217;s investigation.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Regulator seeks bans and investor restitution<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The CFTC is seeking restitution for affected investors, disgorgement of allegedly ill-gotten gains, civil monetary penalties, permanent trading and registration bans, and an injunction to prevent further violations of the Commodity Exchange Act.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The allegations remain unproven, and the case will proceed through the U.S. District Court for the Western District of North Carolina.<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><b>Final Summary<\/b><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The CFTC alleges Trevor Vernon and Argent Capital Management raised more than $14 million while hiding heavy losses.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Regulators are seeking restitution, civil penalties, trading bans, and other remedies.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr \/>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The CFTC alleges a North Carolina commodity pool operator raised more than $14 million from investors through fake performance reports and a Ponzi-like scheme.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":76,"featured_media":614676,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[66,3,4,20],"tags":[6689],"class_list":["post-614673","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-new-news","category-news","category-social","category-trading-view","tag-united-states"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v28.0 (Yoast SEO v28.3) -
