PFGBest Update: What We’re Hearing

The PFGBest scandal continues to unfold. Here’s the latest:

  • The CFTC has filed a formal complaint, and the FBI is investigating.
  • The NFA has contacted PFG clients directly. They’ve put this up on their website.
  • Canadian segregated funds are not missing. It’s going to RJ O’Brien.
  • Liquidation is underway for clients. After a delay, they are now sending confirmations on the trades out.
  • Rumors are circling that regulators are pushing Jeffries to take accounts temporarily in order to facilitate transfers.
  • Questions have come regarding who might be responsible for the accounting error. Wasendorf, Sr. had largely stepped away from operations several years ago, serving more as a figurehead, with Wasendorf, Jr. taking over control of company operations. No one has answers at this hour.

We’ll update you with more as it comes out.
