Boca Raton is located in affluent Palm Beach County, and boasts a population of over 74,000. About 200,000 people have postal addresses in Boca Raton; however, most of these people are not actually residents of Boca Raton according to Palm Beach’s strict annexation laws. Mizner Park is a popular attraction in Boca Raton. The park offers outdoor shopping and dining, a landscaped park, an outdoor amphitheater, and the Boca Raton Museum of Art.

Boca Raton is governed by a stringent development code that dictates the types and size of commercial buildings, as well as building signs and advertisements. Further, city zoning laws forbid the construction of car dealerships within the municipality and no billboards are allowed within city limits.

Recently, U.S. Magistrate Judge Edwin G. Torres of the Southern District of Florida ordered nine Florida defendants to pay more than $12 million in restitution and civil monetary penalties. The order was made in order to settle a U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) anti-fraud lawsuit regarding the offer and sale of illegal off-exchange foreign currency, also known as “forex” options. In its 2007 suit, the CFTC claimed that the defendants “induced and/or caused its account executives to fraudulently solicit members of the retail public to engage in illegal off-exchange forex options transactions with Forefront Investments LP.”
