Although no official claims process has been announced, on November 10 and 11, the Trustee and its counsel provided additional information to securities claimants of MF Global Inc. ("MFGI") on how the process will work. Additionally, the Trustee requested patience during the ongoing liquidation as it works towards developing the claims process and effectuating a bulk transfer of securities customers accounts.
On November 4, 2011, the SIPC Trustee took his first steps toward transferring frozen customer securities accounts held by MF Global Inc. ("MFGI") when he announced that he will be accepting proposals for the transfer of all customer securities accounts of MFGI (the "Securities Accounts") to another member of the Securities Investor Protection Corporation. This action is in addition to the steps the Trustee took last week to transfer certain segregated commodities accounts from MFGI to other futures commission merchants.
