Calvin JohnsonOpposeGovernment
Summary: Calvin Johnson, Chairman of the Tonto Apache Tribe, opposes the proposed rulemaking because it would allow the use of futures markets to facilitate wagering on sporting events. The tribe argues that these "event contracts" are illegal gambling and that the CFTC should prohibit registered entities from offering them to protect tribal and state regulatory frameworks.
