It further appearing to this Court that there is no just reason for delay, and the Court being fully advised in the premises, the Court finds the following:

1. This Court has jurisdiction over Koziol and the subject matter of this action pursuant to Section 6c(a) of the Act, 7 U.S.C. � 13a-1(a) (1994).

2. Venue properly lies with this Court pursuant to Section 6c of the Act, 7 U.S.C. ��13a-1 (1994).

3. The Commission is an independent federal regulatory agency which is charged with the responsibility for administering and enforcing the provisions of the Act, 7 U.S.C. �� 1 et seq. (1994), and the Regulations promulgated thereunder, 17 C.F.R. �� 1 et seq. (1998).

4. Koziol, who is 42 years old, resides at 8907 South Melvina, Oak Lawn, Illinois 60453, and has never been registered with the Commission in any capacity.

COMMODITY POOLS FROM 1993 TO 1998

5. Commencing in at least January 1993 to the present, McGivney and Capital, JPM2, JPMC and Traders (hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Corporations") have operated a series of commodity pools and McGivney, Koziol and the Corporations accepted at least $957,583 from 72 investors in those pools from 1993 to 1998.

6. In connection with soliciting and receiving money for investment in commodity futures contracts, McGivney and the Corporations made some or all of the following representations to investors and potential investors in the pools, verbally and in writing:

McGivney knew or recklessly disregarded the fact that the foregoing representations were false.

7. The pool agreements between the investors and Capital, JPM2 and JPMC provided that the investors would receive a set amount of interest during the term of their investment, and also the return of their principal at the end of the term, and would be entitled to "bonus interest" from the trading of commodity futures by McGivney and Capital, JPM2 and JPMC, respectively. The "bonus interest" was an "incentive" for the investors to enter into agreements with Capital, JPM2 and JPMC. The Court finds that these agreements suggest that the investors did not bear any risk of loss from the commodity futures trading conducted by McGivney, Capital, JPM2 and JPMC.

8. The pool agreements between the investors and Traders provided that the investors would receive a set amount of interest during the term of their investment, and the return of their principal at the end of the term. In addition, Traders would invest half the investment proceeds into a "special investment account," wherein an investor's funds would be commingled with those of other investors. The agreements further provided that the investors would be entitled to "their pro-rata share" of the gross profit from trading by Traders in investments which may include commodity futures. The effect of this agreement was to suggest that the investors did not bear any risk of loss from the commodity futures trading conducted by Traders.

9. Prospective participants in the commodity pools relied upon the representations as set forth in paragraph 6 above, and in the language of the pool agreements as set forth in paragraphs 7 and 8 above, in making their decision to invest in the commodity pools.

10. McGivney and Koziol deposited the funds received by them into bank accounts in the names of the Corporations, and both McGivney and Koziol were signatories on those bank accounts. In fact, Koziol controlled the checking accounts for all the Corporations.

11. McGivney and Koziol opened trading accounts for Capital, JPM2, JPMC and JPMR at the following futures commission merchants ("FCMs"): Iowa Grain Company, Quantum Financial Services, Inc. and Rosenthal Collins Group, L.P. The account papers for those accounts authorized both McGivney and Koziol to make the specific commodity trading decisions for the JPM2, Capital and JPMC Pools. In fact, however, McGivney made all the trading decisions for the accounts.

12. Between January 1993 and July 1996, McGivney, Koziol and the Corporations invested a net of only $107,112 in futures trading accounts. During that period, those accounts lost a cumulative total of $78,462.

13. McGivney, Koziol and the Corporations have made no deposits into futures trading accounts since July 1996 and have engaged in no futures trading since August 1996, although McGivney and the Corporations continued to solicit new investors for the Pools.

14. McGivney, Koziol and the Corporations commingled investor funds from the Pools with the Corporations' funds and their personal funds.

15. From January 1993 to the present, McGivney and Koziol used some of the investors' funds to make returns of principal and purported profits to other investors. The Court finds that these payments deceived the pool participants into believing that their funds were being utilized to profitably trade commodity futures.

16. McGivney, Koziol and the Corporations have repaid only $202,498 of the $957,583 they solicited and accepted from investors, and therefore still owe $755,085 to investors. Of this amount:

17. McGivney and Koziol used nearly all of the approximately $755,085 in investors' funds that they received and did not return over the past six years for their own use and for that of the Corporations. Among other things, McGivney and Koziol used investor funds to compensate themselves, to pay for the operating expenses of the Corporations, the rent, car payments and other personal living expenses of McGivney, and to make payments to relief defendants J. Traders, Wnukowski (McGivney's friend), and M. McGivney (McGivney's ex-wife).

18. McGivney and Koziol knew that the Corporations had not engaged in profitable futures trading or any revenue-generating activities sufficient to repay investors.

"PERFORMANCE REBATE" COMMODITY POOL

19. In February 1999, McGivney and JPM began soliciting investors for investment in a commodity pool called the "performance rebate."

20. McGivney and JPM represented to potential participants in this pool that:

The Court finds that McGivney knew or recklessly disregarded that these statements had no basis in fact at the time that he made them.

21. Prospective participants in the performance rebate pool relied upon the representations set forth in paragraph 20 in deciding whether to invest in this commodity pool.

22. McGivney, Koziol and JPM never deposited the performance rebate investors' funds in a specific corporate trading account and never traded commodity futures with their funds.

23. McGivney, Koziol and JPM commingled investor funds from the performance rebate pool with JPM's funds and their personal funds and thereby misappropriated those funds. Among other things, McGivney and Koziol used performance rebate investor funds to compensate themselves, to pay for the operating expenses of JPM, the personal living expenses of McGivney, and to make payments to Wnukowski and M. McGivney.

23. A total of $49,000 is owed to 63 participants in the performance rebate pool.

24. McGivney and Koziol knew that JPM had not engaged in any profitable futures trading or any revenue-generating activities sufficient to repay investors.

RELIEF DEFENDANTS

25. From 1993 to the present, McGivney and Koziol paid relief defendant Wnukowski a net amount of $168,920.48 from investor funds, and Wnukowski does not have any legitimate entitlement, as an investor or otherwise, to receive the Pools' investors funds.

26. From 1993 to the present, McGivney and Koziol paid relief defendant M. McGivney a net amount of $100,000 from investor funds, and M. McGivney does not have any legitimate entitlement, as an investor or otherwise, to receive the Pools' investors funds.

IV.

2.

Koziol shall also provide immediate evidence of any payments made pursuant to such agreement in the manner required by Section VI. paragraph A.

In connection with any such petition, the only issues shall be whether the financial information provided by Koziol was fraudulent, misleading, inaccurate or incomplete in any material respect at the time such representations were made and the amount of civil monetary penalty to be ordered. In any such petition, the Commission may move the Court to consider all available remedies, including, but not limited to, ordering Koziol to pay funds or assets, directing the forfeiture of any assets, or sanctions for contempt of this Order, and the Commission may also request additional discovery. Koziol may not, by way of defense to such petition, challenge the validity of his consent to this Consent Order, contest the allegations in the Complaint filed by the Commission or the Findings of Fact or Conclusions of Law contained in this Consent Order, or assert that payment of a civil monetary penalty should not be ordered.

Koziol expressly agrees and this Court orders that upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Koziol will be barred from: (1) asserting any defense, including expiration of any statute of limitations, waiver, estoppel or laches, where such defense is based on the alleged failure of the Commission or any Pool Investor to pursue such claims or causes of action during the pendency of this civil action, during the negotiation of Koziol's agreement to this Consent Order or while this Consent Order remains in effect; and/or (2) objecting to, defending against or otherwise disputing the non-dischargeability of his obligations, including his obligations under this Consent Order.
