It wants U.K. administrators KPMG LLP to tap into $1.2 billion it had set aside for customers with segregated accounts, which are supposed to be protected.<br /><br />MF Global Inc. trustee James Giddens “is prepared to use all legal avenues available to him in recovering the customer funds, including litigation,” Kent Jarrell, a spokesman for Giddens, said in an e-mailed statement. <br /><br />“The regulators failed to make certain that segregated funds couldn’t be moved without authorization from someone independent of MF Global,” said Douglas Makepeace of New York- based Sperry Fund Management, which had money in a segregated U.K. client account. “Once the money is gone, litigation is a poor remedy, with no certainty of recovery.” <br /><br />http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2012-01-26/mf-global-clients-may-lose-in-700-million-bankruptcy-fight.htmlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7982981413278241287.post-19983541579658412132012-01-26T09:26:53.853-07:002012-01-26T09:26:53.853-07:00Chart of the Day: Central Bank Balance Sheet as Pe...Chart of the Day: Central Bank Balance Sheet as Percent of GDP: Fed, ECB, BOJ, BOE<br /><br />And all of this just to deal with Greece.

And Corzine openly and publicly STEALS two fucking billion dollars and walks around free as a bird with not even a fucking discussion about criminally prosecuting him for the theft.<br /><br />Corzine is such an arrogant shit. You know, you could read about Corzine getting whacked by some mentally unstable madman. But, in actuality, it would be some honest farmer who had hedged his crops, only to see his money stolen by Corzine at MF Global while the authorities refused to do anything other than their eternal circle-jerk.<br /><br />This country has inside of four years left until economic catastrophe. And when it happens, scholars will debate and pontificate about the causes. I can give you the causes now---a bunch of self-entitled, greedy,thieving, despicable cocksuckers whose souls are dogshit and who would not hesitate to sell their mothers for a cracked bottle of piss if they could redeem it for a dollar.Proximonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7982981413278241287.post-18756453327575664602012-01-25T18:27:25.493-07:002012-01-25T18:27:25.493-07:00CFTC says customer-fund review comes up clean
WAS...CFTC says customer-fund review comes up clean<br /><br />WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The futures regulator said on Wednesday that its spot check of major futures brokerages did not find any material breaches of protections for customer funds.<br /><br />The Commodity Futures Trading Commission conducted the sweep of the industry after the collapse of futures brokerage MF Global in late October and the ensuing search for more than $600 million in missing customer money.<br /><br />The commission and other regulators are still investigating the disappearance of customer funds from accounts that MF Global was legally required to protect.<br /><br />MF Global's bankruptcy and the giant hole it blew through the supposedly sacrosanct principle of client-money protections caused a crisis of confidence among futures investors, who include not only hedge funds and other financial firms but also farmers looking to minimize crop-pricing risks.<br /><br />In response, the CFTC, which has long backed the idea of self-regulation for the futures industry, decided to take a closer look at the state of client-money protections among 70 futures brokerages. These include household names like Goldman Sachs and smaller boutique investment firms.<br /><br />http://finance.yahoo.com/news/cftc-says-customer-fund-review-001903621.html<br /><br />Easy as that..1,2,3 all ok..<br /><br />Don't forget to breathe http://youtu.be/fULNUr0rvEcAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
