Comment on CFTC-2026-1189, CFTC-2026-1189-0001, Mark, Moran
Mark MoranSupportIndividual
Summary: Mark Robert Moran, commenting in an individual capacity, supports the proposed rule but argues for a narrower designation of "participant-controlled discrete political or official acts." He advocates for a targeted supplemental notice to distinguish between aggregate political outcomes and specific acts controlled by a named individual, providing a framework for evaluating risks like information concentration and financial pressure.
