• E-Mail Clues in Tracking MF Global Client Funds

Federal authorities investigating the collapse of MF Global have uncovered e-mails that detail the transfers of money in the firm’s last days, including transfers that contained customer money, according to people close to the investigation.

One e-mail chain refers to the transfer of roughly $200 million that MF Global owed JPMorgan Chase on Oct. 28 — the firm’s last business day before it filed for bankruptcy. In that chain, a senior official in the firm’s Chicago office was told to make the transfer, said the people close to the investigation who requested anonymity because the inquiry was still open.

Once again, someone (Uygur) trying to debate Schiff simply lacks the finance and economics knowledge to do so. Schiff will of course come back with his own video and slice and dice Uyger.

This is a lot more revealing and to the point…

Unfortunately Barnhardt loses the plot with her unrelated comments re: ‘affirmative action.’ Plus, her idea to boycott the system is as unfocused as any #occupywallstreet protester. I’d like to see Uygur interview Barnhardt…

Fleeing Greeks Emigrate to Australia

“There’s nowhere in the world like Greece and I miss it and my friends every single day,” said Spilioti who grew up in Australia before settling in Athens 27 years ago. “But Australia is a positive country. It’s the land of plenty, there is a feeling of abundance and of opportunity,” she enthused. “That’s totally missing in Greece. Instead people are panic-stricken, the vibe is bad, the psychology is bad and there’s a feeling of almost being under siege. I never thought I’d leave but with the stress of day-to-day survival I knew it was going to be very difficult to evolve.”

• Legality Of MF Global Asset Transfer Questioned

Commodity Customer Coalition founder James Koutoulas is requesting that MF Global bankruptcy Judge Martin Glenn investigate three potential legal issues that are said to have occurred in transferring of MF Global assets. The key issues include the fact that JP Morgan was able to purchase MF Global bonds at a discount without any open bidding process and the assets were apparently sold without disclosure to or approval from the U.S. bankruptcy court or trustees. The third issue centers on JP Morgan seeking special favors from the Federal Reserve to receive priority treatment over investor segregated fund accounts.

“How many letters like this have they asked for in the past? I want all the statistics regarding the number and content of letters,” Koutoulas questioned. “JP Morgan wanted a ‘get out of jail free card’ from the Fed. Guess what? That doesn’t fly with me.”

In calling on MF Global presiding bankruptcy Judge Glenn to investigate these issues, Mr. Koutoulas is rallying the futures industry to boycott use of JP Morgan. “Call your FCM and if they are using JP Morgan say ‘We won’t do business with you if you work with JP Morgan,’” he said, requesting that industry participants get on Twitter and follow the #BoycottJPM hash tag.
