HomeCalling All Farmers: MF Global Customer Cry for Help or Why Will Obama Lose MI, OH, IA, and WI?
Posted by Larry Doyle on October 25th, 2012 10:16 AM |
I personally believe the exchange I had with a farmer located in central Michigan is so important that I hope people who come to the site will not pass over this but might actually try to put yourself in this individual’s position. TYVM…..LD
I grew up parochially having been taught that “thou shalt not steal” meant you leave your hands off what is not yours.
The quote referenced above came to me from a farmer in central Michigan who remains entangled in the MF Global debacle.
Why is it that so many people in our nation and around the world have such little trust in our government and those charged with protecting their interests in the markets? (more…)
MF Global: Independent Investigator Required…Video
Posted by Larry Doyle on May 9th, 2012 9:37 AM |
I have written extensively of the need for an MF Global grand jury and an independent investigation. Why?
I feel strongly that MF Global customers specifically and the American public at large believe a fair and thorough adjudication of the ENTIRE MF Global bankruptcy is far from assured under the aegis of our Department of Justice.
Strong charge, no doubt, but who would deny that simple reality.
Having made these calls and posted numerous commentaries to this effect, let’s go to the videotape and take in a fabulous 5-minute clip on this hot button issue which ran late last evening. (more…)
MF Global: “This Was a Massive Theft”
Posted by Larry Doyle on April 30th, 2012 7:56 AM |
Six months and counting.
The lives of countless numbers of families and individuals are likely forever changed by what transpired at MF Global. Yet there remains no real accounting nor full retribution for the fiasco which unfolded within the walls of the firm that traced its roots to the late 1700s.
Certainly we can expect that trustees and regulators will put forth some thousand page reports trying to detail the minute by minute demise of MF Global. Do you think those reports will mean anything to the lives of the people impacted? I don’t. Why? How do you recapture trust? When there is NO real trust, there is NO real justice, and NO real closure. It is that simple. (more…)
Those Uncle Sam Failed, Violated, and Left Behind
Posted by Larry Doyle on April 3rd, 2012 8:31 AM |
They are going to forget about me.
I have heard that line and iterations thereof from too many of our fellow citizens. Uncle Sam in the personage of Ben Bernanke, Tim Geithner, Henry Paulson, Mary Schapiro, John Boehner, Nancy Pelosi, Barack Obama and many others can talk about the actions they have taken and will take to save our economy and our nation; however, in the midst of their supposed efforts they have failed, violated, and left behind tens of thousands of our fellow citizens in their wake.
Of whom and to what do I refer? (more…)
“The People v Jon Corzine et al”
Posted by Larry Doyle on March 26th, 2012 8:40 AM |
If you were away over the weekend, as I was, or somehow missed the news late Friday afternoon, you may awake this morning unaware that the smoking gun in the fiasco known as MF Global may have been unearthed and now points directly back at one Mr. Jon Corzine.
How is it that neither The Wall Street Journal nor the Financial Times are prominently highlighting ongoing developments in this story in their morning newspapers? You don’t think our news flow is ‘managed’? What a joke, but that is another story for another time. Thank you to Bloomberg for keeping us current in what I believe should be the the eventual case of “The People v Jon Corzine et al.” (more…)
James Koutoulas: JP Morgan Insult Added to MF Global Injury
Posted by Larry Doyle on March 12th, 2012 8:24 AM |
Going on five full months and with MF Global customers still waiting for a glimmer of justice on the horizon—and the return of THEIR money—we awake to read that CME executives believe no further regulation could have prevented the debacle that is MF Global.
Why is that?
Most rational and ordinary Americans already sense those running the show at MF Global ‘broke the rules’. CME executives now seemingly maintain as much as well.
Let’s give these CME execs a gold star for a tremendous grasp of the obvious. Let’s also quickly review The Wall Street Journal story and then a further fascinating story highlighting what happened to somebody in the arena who spoke out on this debacle. (more…)
Jon Corzine Meet Dean Tofteland
Posted by Larry Doyle on March 8th, 2012 6:27 AM |
“What they call ‘unlawful commingling’ on Wall Street is called ‘stealing’ back on Main Street.”
A week ago, I welcomed highlighting the plight of an elderly couple ensnared in the morass that is the MF Global debacle. Helen Metchikoff’s plea tugged at my heart as she wrote:
i am a 75 yr old grandmother my husband is 76 we take care of a brain injured 55 yr old son all of our investment money we saved in our lifetimes was invested in mf global for a monthly income to live out our lives now we are broke living on a pittance social security checks this is such a crime against all the people who lost through the greed of corzine and all the rest of his cronies isn’t there anything that can be done to help us we are suffering and i don’t think we deserve this they should all be punished severely for this just like madoff is…
There are clearly many, many more individuals and couples also suffering as a result of the “commingling” that transpired at MF Global. Yesterday, I read of just such another individual.
Jon Corzine meet Dean Tofteland. (more…)
MF Global Customer Makes Impassioned Plea Recommended
Posted by Larry Doyle on February 27th, 2012 8:27 AM |
How are MF Global customers supposed to protect themselves when financial regulators and our legislative bodies show themselves to be incapable of performing that basic duty?
Those engaged in the unseemly acts of Wall Street-Washington Incest have shown their true colors in allowing the most innocent of investors in our nation to be trampled. How un-American of them. That said, while our incestuous ‘friends’ may leak stories over the weekend indicating that the MF Global fight for justice is largely over, let us show them that the fight has only just begun. How might we do so?
Let’s get very specific and highlight an impassioned plea by an MF Global customer who is crying out for help. Sense on Cents welcomes providing a forum to do just that. (more…)
Is Jon Corzine “Too Big to Indict”? Part VII
Posted by Larry Doyle on February 25th, 2012 9:07 AM |
Four full months have passed and MF Global customers are still out a reported ~$1.6 billion.
How are these individuals and entities surviving? Will they ever see a return of their funds? Will the public ever learn what truly happened in those fateful days and hours when this firm went down the tubes?
Don’t hold your breath.
In a not unsurprising manner, we receive word on a late Friday afternoon that the investigation into the MF Global demise may be little more than a case of sloppy controls and compliance. Is this to be believed? (more…)
We Need an MF Global Grand Jury
Posted by Larry Doyle on January 30th, 2012 9:53 AM |
I still very much have the “sense on cents” that many on Wall Street and in Washington desperately wish that l’affaire MF Global would just fade away.
Let’s work hard to make sure that does not happen and that the MF Global customers who may NEVER see THEIR money again at least receive some justice in return.
NEVER see THEIR money again? Is that right? (more…)
