How JP Morgan And George Soros Ended Up With MF Global Customer Moneyhttp://www.clearingandsettlement.com/2012/01/how-jp-morgan-and-george-soros-ended-up-with-mf-global-customer-money/

January 8, 2012

In recent testimony before a Congressional committee, MF Global's former chief Jon Corzine as well as other MF Global executives said repeatedly the didn't know where the failed brokerage firm's $1.2 billion of missing client money was. In fact, MF Global executives knew exactly what happened to the money, as do the regulators who oversaw the firm's bankruptcy. The so-called segregated customer funds were repeatedly, and legally (through re-hypothication), used as collateral for MF Global loans for 100:1 leveraged bets on European sovereign debt. 

Rehypothication is the 800lb gorilla (Editor's note: make that the 2,000 lb gorilla). In 2007 I was with another fund that was the first 2.5bln casualty of the l

A substantial portion of MF Global's commodity clients cleared their transactions through the Chicago Mercantile Exchange and Comex, owned by CME Group (ticker: CME). The question now looming over CME's stock is whether the company will be liable for customer losses, as the Commodity Customer Coalition, a group that says it represents some 8,000 investors—including many hedge funds–with exposure to MF Global are not going down without a fight. 

Rather than being treated as a bankruptcy of a commodities brokerage firm under sub-chapter IV of the Chapter 7 bankruptcy law, MF Global was treated as an equities firm (sub-chapter III) for the purposes of its bankruptcy, and this is why the MF Global customer money in so-called segregated accounts "disappeared". In a brokerage firm bankruptcy, the customers get their money first, while in an equities firm bankruptcy, the customers are at the end of the line, meaning MF Global's creditors, namely J.P. Morgan and other trading counterparties, got their money first, just as AIG's CDS (credit default swap) counterparties (mainly Goldman Sachs) got their money first when the U.S. government bailed out AIG. 

To add further insult to injury for MF Global clients, the firm reportedly unloaded hundreds of millions of dollars' worth of securities to Goldman Sachs, and others, who then reportedly flipped these securities within a day to George Soros funds.

What the debacle implies is that nothing has really been learned from the 2008 financial crisis, and that there really is no safety in any paper investment when push comes to shove. Brokers and investment banks are effectively running leveraged ponzi schemes running in the trillions of USD with your collateral then refuse to offer you liquidity on the collapse of the trade because they won't face a brokerage This has very wealthy individuals as well as non-too-big-to-fail market participants seriously reconsidering the risks of regulatory malfeasance during such systemic "black swan" events. In such cases, be prepared for commodities and equity brokers, investment and commercial banks to "freeze" your funds, enforced by central banks or other regulatory authorities–i.e., a de facto banking holiday, while not only will your purchasing power be reduced by currency devaluations, but you will also be asked to again bail out the banksters with your tax money.

P.S. The alleged financial regulators aka the Commodities Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), the Securities Exchange Commission (SEC), along with the National Futures Association (NFA) and the U. S. Justice Department, are still involved in a massive obstruction of justice aka cover up of this massive money laundry.

These alleged financial regulators are more concerned about using entrapment calls aka Nazi Germany tactics and bogus audits based on false ratios (that ignore volatility of the markets) to destroy small ma and pa retail brokerage firms that are not tied to the big crooked banks and their managed futures operations that churn their customers and realize at most a one percent profit.

P.P.S. We now bring you a list of the account numbers, mainly tied to Asian banks, that were used to launder the MF Global-JP Morgan derivatives that were written and disguised and un-collateralized on the corrupt London Life Exchange, and with the help of the corrupt Federal Reserve, turned into un-collateralized Japanese yen currency derivatives that were used to support this massive money laundry (aka ponzi scheme) by artificially increasing the exchange rate of the Japanese yen versus both the Euro currency and the U.S. dollar.

In other words, folks, the Japanese yen has been used as a pimp currency for the purpose of the Federal Reserve and JP Morgan.

The attached documents were sent by a source linked to Ferdinand Marcos and have been confirmed as genuine secret government documents
