MF GLOBAL CONTINUES TO UNDERMINE THE
US FINANCIAL MARKETS & THE RULE OF LAW
The trustee overseeing MF Global's liquidation has come out and
confirmed that the amount of customers’ funds of the failed brokerage
are now expected to be at least $1.6 billion. This gap has now risen
from the previous estimate of $1.2 billion. This is the biggest financial
crime perhaps in history far worse than Madoff. This is the outright
theft of client funds that nobody is being called to account for no less
the recipients of such funds being made to return them. The collapse of
MF Global, which was headed by former Goldman Sachs CEO, Senator,
and New Jersey Governor, Jon Corzine, was the eighth-largest
corporate bankruptcy in U.S. history.
About $1.2 billion previously reported as missing has been traced to
customer accounts and banks. The US Regulators are investigating only
whether MF Global tapped into client money from clients' accounts as its financial condition worsened.
They are ignoring the fact that it was trading with client money prior to the last few days. Brokerage
Houses are required to keep customer money separate from the firm's money but that is simply not
being enforced in the instant case. Judge Glenn has a history of ignoring the law. In the case of Princeton
Economics, a public mutual fund was under management at Deutsche Bank. He seized the entire public
mutual fund without tracing any alleged assets, and made all the customers in the public fund PROVE
the money they put into the fund was theirs. As any lawyer what is the law. If a receiver is going to seize
assets, he has to prove he has a right to do so. Martin Glenn reversed the law, proved NOTHING of the
sort, was prepared to confiscate depositor’s money to help New York Bank as he is again doing right
now, and made people prove it was their own money. Every investor in the public fund had to sign an
affidavit swearing it was their money. And they made this guy a judge.
