Braden Perry Discusses Red Flags and Complaints with the Center for Auto Finance Excellence

Braden Perry, partner at Kennyhertz Perry, LLC, recently provided tips on dealer compliance with the Center for Auto Finance Excellence. Complaints to the lender “should be logged and kept as part of their books and records, and the lender should request review of these complaints regularly as part of their compliance program,” he says. And if a regulator comes calling, including the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, “it is imperative that the lender can provide information in a clear and efficient manner and be able to defend its compliance plan and convey to the regulators that it reviews its dealers and takes consumer protection seriously.”

Massad’s 1st year at CFTC about Change, Perry Says

Law360 featured former U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission Senior Trial Attorney Braden Perry in an evaluation of CFTC’s Chairman Timothy Massad. Perry said that Massad’s change in tone was immediately palpable in his speeches and the agency’s guidance letters. And whereas Gensler had the job of implementing Dodd-Frank Act reforms immediately after they were passed, Massad was able to take a step back and make subtle changes in order to help market participants while still protecting consumers. Although many challenges remain, Perry said that he has a lot of potential to make the markets work in an efficient manner for those the CFTC oversees.

The key, said Perry, is to stay organized and focus on being consistent. “Consistency is often overlooked,” he said. “One of the things the Kansas Board of Law Examiners and other bar examiners do is look at your law school application, as well as any other applications they’re able to come across, and determine if there are inconsistencies. If there are, that’s a red flag.”

Perry Speaks with Law360 on Panther Energy Indictment

Braden Perry recently spoke with Law360 regarding the HFT spoofing indictment filed against Panther Energy Trading, LLC.  The indictment, alleging Panther Energy designed and deployed algorithms that issued and canceled orders within milliseconds — faster than the blink of an eye but long enough to be detected by other automated trading programs that troll the markets.  These actions “spoofed” the markets with enormous buy or sell orders that were canceled almost instantaneously, all to win illegal profits by manipulating the price of futures contracts.  The action, according to Perry, protects high frequency traders and ensures integrity in the markets.
