NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission filed suit Wednesday against 14 foreign exchange dealers it alleges were engaged in illegal currency trading.
The filings are the first flexing of new regulatory muscle afforded the agency under provisions of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street reform bill and the 2008 Farm Bill that went into effect in October.
The suits allege that the firms illegally solicited members of the public to engage in foreign currency transactions, and that they operated without being registered with the CFTC.
