Lots of Refco discussion:

elitetrader.com
elitetrader.com
elitetrader.com

In other words, they have extended that amount in credit to their customers.

That's just nonsense, frankly, and irresponsible nonsense at that.

efco (RFX) has just gone bye-bye. It's customers will not be able to get their money back for 15 days (yeah right) because the company does not have sufficient liquidity. I am trying to sort through what this all means, but Bloomie shows $66 billion of liabilities for RFX, and if I were the creditor right now I'd be looking for a big diaper.


what does that mean for people with futures accts at Lind-Waldock? ouch!
