Former Avista Trader Fined
LCG, Sep. 13, 2002--A fine of $155,000 was levied on former Avista electricity trader Robert Kristufek as part of a settlement with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission yesterday.An investigation into market manipulation of settlement prices at Palo Verde and the California-Oregon Border led to the settlement, in which Kristufek did not indicate whether or not the charges against him were justified. The CFTC stated that Avista Energy Inc. "had entered into cash-settled over-the-counter option contracts whose value was based on the daily settlement prices of the electricity futures contracts at issue," prior to alleged wrongdoing by Kristufek. According to the agency, Kristufek "manipulated those settlement prices in order to increase Avista Energy's net gain on its option contracts."The contracts in question traded on four days in the spring and summer of 1998, on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Related charges were settled last year against former Avista Vice President Thomas Johns and another former trader Michael Griswold. Kristufek has not been with Avista for four years, according to the company.
