    The trial adjudicator's acceptance of the complainants' consistent documentary and oral evidence together with expert evidence of an implausible high-frequency trading pattern provided a rational basis to infer the appellant acted without authority to obtain commission; there was no basis for the appellate court to disturb credibility findings or grant further adjournment, so the conviction stands.
