“MF Global filed for bankruptcy on Monday morning in New York, after the Federal Reserve Bank of New York as well as the major exchanges suspended dealings with the broker-dealer led by Jon
Corzine. This followed its suspension as a primary dealer by the New York Fed, as well as the suspension on trading by MF Global on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, ICE and NYSE Life, which said MF Global clients were limited to liquidation-only trading.”
