Celente: CME Did Not Guarantee Oversight in MF Global Scandal ChicagoBoardOfTradeCMEGroupAndTheChicagoFedBloomberg reports today that CME, the world’s largest futures exchange, may face liability in the MF Global scam that has bilked customers out of nearly a billion dollars.

Back on October 30, it was reported that CME noticed a shortfall in MF Global’s segregated client funds, but did not immediately report it to the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, the CME Group’s regulator.

CME oversees its futures-broker members such as MF Global under its authority as a self-regulatory organization and is required to report irregularities immediately.

CME’s behavior is especially suspect after $600 million fell in a back hole when it was placed in an account with Wall Street giant JP Morgan following the collapse of MF Global.

As we noted today, it is very suspicious that weeks prior to MF Global’s fall billionaire investors like the Koch brothers had the miraculous foresight to withdraw all their money, prompting accusations that big players got a ‘heads up’ in advance of the firm’s collapse.

CME is now in the process of damage control. Earlier today, the organization issued a press release stating “that it followed CFTC requirements and CME Rules and procedures in reviewing MF Global’s segregated funds statements and coordinating that review with the CFTC” and characterized reports that it was negligent as “inaccuracies.”

Trends forecaster Gerald Celente, who lost gold futures at MF Global in the six figure range, has discovered a video of CME Executive Chairman, Terrence Duffy, holding a press conference last year in which he unequivocally states that no “customer has ever lost a penny as a result of a clearing member default that CME Group.”

Duffy admits that CME is the “guarantor of every transaction that happens in our markets [and] we have to guarantee the performance of each and every one of these contracts.” Obviously, this was not the case with MF Global and its clients.

The CME boss claims in the video that the futures and options markets provide “a place of shelter for the most damaging parts of the economic crisis” and “function flawlessly, providing liquidity, transparency and central counterparty clearing services that continue to work throughout the crisis,” a claim that turns out to be entirely fallacious, as Celente and others discovered after MF Global went belly up.

Duffy proudly admits that CME is “the guarantor of every transaction that happens in our markets” and guarantees “the performance of each and every one of these contracts which means facilitating the transfer of $800 trillion of risk. To do this, we hold more than $100 billion of collateral to support the transactions that are being done on our markets.”

However, as Gerald Celente notes in an email sent to Infowars.com, not “only have customers lost money, they’ve lost their futures positions. Secondly, and more important, CME did not honor its ‘guarantee’” to MF Global’s clients.

“This is big news that nobody has uncovered, and I’d like to break it with Alex,” Celente writes.

It is not certain at this point if CME’s role in the scandal will be highlighted. Authorities are attempting to track down MF Global client money lost in JP Morgan’s black hole and two “aggressive and high-profile federal prosecutors,” according to the Wall Street Journal, are using subpoenas to gather MF Global records.

  1. Oh noes,

    “It is not certain at this point if CME’s role in the scandal will be highlighted.

    HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH,

    CME, the company that backs “all” investment holds 100b in collateral as proof of “backing” means their word is worth zero point shit!

    Not only did they FAIL to do their job in REPORTING this obvious insider-scandle, but they FAIL in their core reason for being as a backstop to the companies they represent!

    There are soooooo many laws that have been broken here someone will be offered up as a scapegoat so all the richy-rich scumbags get to keep their ill-gotten gain and escape any kind of punishment for their evil deeds.

    It is no wonder any longer that ALL of these money-grubbers will be exicuted 1st thing in the 2nd american revolution followed closly by anyone who worked for the gubbermint.

  2. Goldman Sachs and Freemason’s and Trilateral Commission have taken over Europe :

    Yes. They already looted the American people as a whole and mostly the low income class is left with nothing to take except the remaining houses. Now they are going for broke and taking large money grabs. These banker scum know they can’t keep having banker bailouts handed to themselves repeatedly. Now they just gamble with our money until they fail, move all money left and go bankrupt keeping the money.

  4. All of these “heads-up guys” need to EXPLAIN where that public information was procured.

    They need to roll-over their source. Otherwise they should lose every dime plus punitive triple damages.

    So, LET’S HEAR IT!

  5. Chicago, ah yes, also known for their fine fur-lined cement shoes too ! Yes, they’re wonderful for that oceanic view of the harbor too !

  6. Looks like ol’ Celente got burned in an MF’N paper gold scam.

    Are the people learning what mainstream media is trying to hide?

    Ron Paul is electable but people must not know it right?

    The lesson lies in our faces. It is only up to us as individuals to see it and to understand it.

  11. ”The enemies, the opposition,the adverses are all those who love you in an uninterrested way!

    Never lift a hand on them because if they disappear,you cannot see your reflexion in the mirror that reveils your mistakes. Your enemy has been given to you so you could expulse from your inner you, all the negative and evil energies they express.”

  12. Celente of all people should know better then to trust a company run by a former Goldman and Sachs exec. I don’t feel sorry for him or anyone that would trust Corzine with their money.

    DON”T BUY GOLD FUTURES. ONLY TAKE PHYSICAL DELIVERY OF GOLD OR SILVER.
    Alex Jones Midas Resources has good prices and there are a couple other good ones too, just don’t use Goldline, they are a rip off.

  13. 800 trillion in risk? 100 billion on standby? With this amount of money floating around see how easy it is to “skim a billion or two from the top?”
    As Joe Pesci said in the movie Casino, “this fat fuck over here is in the counting room for one reason, to skim the joint dry without anyone upstairs getting wise, the IRS or nobody. You’re in, and your out, pass the jackoff guard who gets an extra C note for watching the door. And who’s gonna notice? Just another fat fuck walking out the casino with a suitcase.”
