challenge here in the southern district of new york. we always want the cftc and s.e.c. by our side when we do that, and i want to thank the prosecutors from my office and their supervisors, the chiefs of our security and commodities fraud task force. i want to acknowledge the hard work, including samb ilraymond, and jessica feinstein and tara l amour, and acknowledge the contribution from our chief unit. this should be very clear, but it s a all hands on deck investigation, and i couldn t be prouder of the team i m privileged to lead. now, i want to invite up to the podium. fbi assistant director in charge, michael driscoll.
