The following is the punch line to a white paper by John Roe, and James L. Koutoulas, Esq. concerning the disposition of stolen assets trapped in the MF Global fiasco.

Click anywhere on the excerpt below for a very short and well written paper which also serves as a primer on the how, the what, the who and the why of commodities trading.

Way super double highly recommended. 

 

By subordinating customers with collateral in segregated funds to creditors of MF Global's estate, the Trustee is essentially making the creditors the beneficiary of a criminal act.  If MF Global comingled segregated funds with corporate assets, it was a criminal act.  Paying such a creditor's claim with a portion of those comingled funds would make them a beneficiary of that crime.  Paying JP Morgan with an Iowa farmer's money is not only morally and legally wrong, it risks the future of the American economic model.

 

Commodities accounts were reputed to be regulated by an entity of the federal government known as the Commodity Futures Trading Commission.

It's true mission however is to assist large Wall Street Banks in their theft of middle class America's wealth.
