PFG Is Now MFG(lobal) Part 2 As $220 Million In Segregated Client Money Has Just Vaporized
ZeroHedge ^ | 07/09/2012 | Tyler Durden

Posted on 07/09/2012 5:24:26 PM PDT by Stentor

Remember when the entire segregated account fiasco was supposedly fixed in the aftermath of the November 2011 MF Global bankruptcy, and where regulators: the CFTC, the SEC, the CME, and anyone you asked, swore up and down this would never happen again? Turns out that 7 months later, the spirit of MFG has struck again, only this time with one letter switched: it is now known as PFG, as we suggested first 3 hours ago when we broke the story.

You speak gibberish.
I do not not your words ( CFTC, SEC, CME, MFG ) which is not familiar words.

Could you speak clear understandable English?

If not English then Spanish Swedish or even German so I could understand your gibberish.

SEC = Securities and Exchange Commission
CME = Chicago Mercantile Exchange
MFG = MF Global (not sure about the MF but had you left money with them the MF might be appropriate]

CFTC NO CLUE

From the articles I have read the amount of “missing” customer money is more than $400 million.

MFG = Mann Financial Global. Mann Financial was a small commodities broker that for more than 100 years catered to farmers and others to find their wealth in the futures markets. Corzine was installed as CEO after he lost his bid for a second term as NJ governor. He took the firms money, bet big, lost the bet and STOLE the depositors money to pay off the leverage. Corzine walks the streets today.

This was a once in a lifetime event and under the current regulations could never happen again.

Well, it just did.

Are there any connections between Wasendorf, Tony Rezko, or the indicted Illinois Governor?

Time will tell.

But for a firm that was allegedly started in a “basement” the fact that Wasendorf’s firm, Peregrine, sues all of his clients that his company loses money on behalf, is surely a clue to be aware of that these guys are no different than many of the others that have lost the public trust.

Which other companies, people, and politicians are next in line to be found liable in this unbelievable Chicago corruption?

Or a nice silver delivery to their alleged COMEX stash.

Exactly right (well, technically it's "Commodity", not "Commodities", but who really cares?). Another toothless tiger agency of the goobermint, this one created by Tom Foley's agriculture bill in 1974.

Staffed mostly by political cronies and chair-polishing pencil pushers, the CFTC have failed utterly in the principal missions as defined by law: protecting the capital of traders and preventing mkt manipulation.

1. The poster is not the author of the article
2. FR has lots of articles with technical jargon posted.
3. We don’t want every article posted to be dumbed down to the lexicon of the typical layman.

Thanks. I almost never post but this story is about the center of the abscess that is our financial system.
