The SEC's enforcement action finds that ICAP, through its brokers on its U.S. Treasuries (UST) desks, displayed fictitious flash trades also known as "bird" trades on ICAP's screens and disseminated false trade information into the marketplace in order to attract customer attention to its screens and encourage actual trading by these customers. ICAP's customers believed the displayed fake trades to be real and relied on the phony information to make trading decisions.
