On the excerpted issues, the authority found that the Noticee caused a trading account to be opened in the name of Amol Kokane and used him as a front for trading in PSTL, and that the Noticee's self-trades constituting more than 47% and 66% of his net buys on October 24 and 27, 2008 were bogus trades for artificial volume creation.
