MF Global's parent company has won court approval for its liquidation plan.
Judge Martin Glenn approved the plan Friday in U.S. bankruptcy court in Manhattan. MF Global Holdings Ltd. collapsed in late 2011 after a calamitous $6.3 billion bet on bonds issued by debt-burdened European countries.
MF Global had $41.05 billion in assets. Its collapse was the eighth-largest corporate bankruptcy in U.S. history and the biggest on Wall Street since the September 2008 collapse of Lehman Brothers that set off the financial crisis. More than $1 billion in customer money was discovered to be missing.
The plan approved Friday lays out how MF Global will pay back some of its creditors.
As for MF Global's customers, about 89 per cent of the money owed to U.S. customers has been distributed, and 18 per cent for foreign customers. That's according to one of the MF Global trustees, James Giddens, who has overseen the liquidation of the firm's operations and distributed recovered funds to customers.
The judge's approval comes a day after another trustee in the case, former FBI director Louis Freeh, filed a report lambasting MF Global's former CEO Jon Corzine and other top managers, saying they had ignored warnings of their chief risk officer.
Freeh is tasked with trying to recover money for creditors and others that MF Global might owe.
A spokesman for Corzine on Thursday strongly refuted Freeh's report, saying "there was "no basis for the suggestion that Mr. Corzine breached his fiduciary duties or was negligent." Instead, he blamed the failure of banks and other firms that MF Global traded with.
Corzine, who had been co-chairman of Goldman Sachs as well as a former Democratic U.S. senator and governor of New Jersey, stepped down as MF Global CEO in November 2011.
Giddens last year joined a lawsuit against Corzine and other former executives brought by MF Global customers. MF Global shareholders also have sued Corzine and other executives.
No one has been charged in the MF Global case. Federal regulators, Congress and a federal grand jury in Chicago have investigated MF Global's failure and the disappearance of customers' money.
