The bank has 30 days to show why it should not be penalized for an alleged scheme of manipulating physical electricity prices at a loss in order to make profits in related positions in the swaps market, a strategy known as a "loss-leader".

The FERC also said four of the company's power traders -- Daniel Brin, Scott Connelly, Karen Levine, and Ryan Smith -- have 30 days to show why they should not be assessed a total of $18 million in civil penalties.

So if you steal a little or help (Rajat) you go to jail and if you are a team, you get penalty?

So if the penalty is levied, why should the govt get the money, it should go to the consumers who paid $ for electricity.
