Many creditors who received payments from MF Global within 90 days of its bankruptcy filing are receiving letters from the Trustee requesting that they contact the Trustee's legal counsel this month to discuss those payments and potentially return all or some of them to the Trustee. This is commonly known as a 'preference attack', an action in which a Trustee of an insolvent company attempts to recover preferential transfers (i.e. payments) from current and former creditors. It is very important that you respond to this letter after discussing it with your legal counsel and mount a defense that the payments you or your company received are not voidable by the Trustee.
James Koutoulas, co-founder of the Commodity Customer Coalition (CCC), says, “While MF Global was one of the most catastrophic events in the history of the futures industry, I’m elated that after two-and-a-half years customers are finally going to be made whole.”
The CCC was founded by Koutoulas and John Roe principal of BTR Trading (both customers of MF Global) shortly after MF Global declared bankruptcy when it became apparent that there was a lack of urgency in the way the SIPC trustee, who was largely unfamiliar with Futures industry regulation, approached the task of getting former MF Global customers their money back.
