Vision Financial Markets LLC, a futures commission merchant member, and Ace Investment Strategists LLC, a commodity trading advisor member were barred by the National Futures Association (NFA). Ace Investment's principal, Yu-Dee Chang, and Chesapeake Investment Services, Inc., an introducing broker of which Chang is a principal, were also barred from membership by the NFA.
In June 2014, the NFA announced it had reached a settlement with Vision. Vison agreed to pay a $1.5 million fine, and would close its FCM and reconstitute it as High Ridge Futures LLC. NFA will require any customer inquiring about High Ridge through NFA's BASIC system to be provided with information about Vision's disciplinary actions. Vision Financial paid $2 million in customer restitution as well.
According to reports, Vison has had a long history of supervisory problems. Ace was charged with misappropriation of customer funds and Vison with taking a part in Ace's actions. According to the complaint this activity took place over three years, and Vision allegedly could have stopped the abuses.
