Damn ! No Debt & instantly available Assets just aren't working for me. Guess I'm a slow learner.

"Worse, Grede said, is that the ruling suggests that a brokerage that allows customer money to be mixed with its own is not necessarily committing fraud."

Corzine's lawyers will be all over this. Unrel.
It's a huge story that I didn't see until Morloch posted something about it last night. I'm still trying to get a read on exactly what it means (waiting for Chris Whalen to respond to my voicemail), but either the judge is corrupt or this means NO FUNDS are safe at futures brokerage accounts.
Has anyone else written about what this Sentinel ruling means?
Don't have much sympathy for this guy, sorry to say that, but he should have seen these crooks and the lack of prosecution of these f'er and pulled his money out a long time ago.

Not a positive development.
Here's the 2010 report.
