COMPLAINT:

On March 18, 2024, NFA's Business Conduct Committee (BCC) issued a Complaint against Rimar Capital LLC (Rimar Capital) and Itai Royi... Liptz (Liptz).

The Complaint also charges Rimar Capital with allowing an unregistered individual to act as an associated person without being registered in such capacity and an NFA Associate.

DECISION:

On July 3, 2024, NFA's BCC issued a Decision, pursuant to Rimar Capital and Liptz's settlement offer, and ordered Rimar Capital to withdraw from NFA membership by no later than July 15, 2024, and not reapply for NFA membership or act as a principal of an NFA Member for 30 months from the date of its withdrawal. The BCC also ordered Liptz to withdraw from NFA associate membership and as a principal of Rimar Capital by no later than July 15, 2024, and not apply for NFA membership, reapply for NFA associate membership, or act or be listed as a principal of an NFA Member for 30 months from the date of his withdrawal. The BCC further ordered Rimar Capital and Liptz to pay a $90,000 fine, jointly and severally, to NFA if Rimar Capital and/or Liptz apply for NFA membership, NFA associate membership or principal status with an NFA Member, following the expiration of the 30-month period.
