PFGBest Town Hall Meeting w/ James Koutoulas
As you know, the PFGBest (Peregrine Financial) debacle has left many investors and traders devastated. After $1.6 billion of client funds "vanished" at MF Global, regulators boldly promised the investing public... "Never again". While many of the clients were sophisticated investors and hedge funds, a vast majoirty of PFG clients were Main Street traders, not Wall Street predators.

Small business owners across the country who earned their living trading Emini Futures including the S&P500, Dow, Nasdaq and the Russell, along with Crude, Gold, Grains and Currencies suddenly found themselves "out of business". This was a shake up and a wake up call, the likes of which the National Futures Association (NFA) and futures traders themselves had never before experienced.
Despite promises of a return to market integrity, and the infamous "Never again" statement, lightening did strike twice. While the back-stories are quite different, the chilling fact remains - an additional $200 million of customer funds are quite possibly, also gone for good.
Take The Money And Run
In a separate case, the CEO of PFGBest appears not to have made a "bad bet" with client funds as was the case with John Corzine at MF Global. The Peregrine Financial (PFG) case appears to be good old fashioned greed. In other words... he stole the money. Now as the song goes you're supposed to "take the money and run". Somehow, Russell Wasendorf Sr. forgot to run.
