CFTC names former federal prosecutor David Miller to head enforcement division amid expanding crypto mandate

Commodity Futures Trading Commission Chair Michael Selig has appointed former federal prosecutor and private sector litigator David Miller to lead the agency's enforcement division. Miller previously worked at Greenberg Traurig, Morgan Lewis and the U.S. Department of Justice, focusing on commodities, securities, digital assets and national security, and will oversee enforcement as the CFTC takes on a larger role in crypto and prediction markets. His arrival coincides with shifting enforcement priorities and staffing questions at both the CFTC and the Securities and Exchange Commission.
