The proposed class likely consists of investors or traders who participated in the same commodity markets or transactions and suffered financial losses as a result of the alleged misconduct. The case seeks to hold Lim accountable for actions that harmed multiple individuals who were similarly situated and exposed to the same alleged wrongdoing in the commodities marketplace.
