A New York asset manager, accused of running unregistered commodity pools, was charged with threatening to kill U.S. financial regulators, including the heads of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission and the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Vincent P. McCrudden, 49, was arrested yesterday at Newark Liberty International Airport in New Jersey after returning from Singapore, said Robert Nardoza, a spokesman for U.S. Attorney Loretta Lynch in Brooklyn, New York. McCrudden appeared today in federal court in Central Islip, New York, and was held without bail, Nardoza said.
