Peregrine Financial Group Inc. filed to liquidate in bankruptcy after the U.
S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission sued the brokerage alleging a US$200
-million “shortfall” in client funds.
Peregrine listed assets of more than US$500-million and debt exceeding US$
100-million in a Chapter 7 petition filed yesterday in U.S. Bankruptcy Court
in Chicago. Separately, U.S. District Judge Rebecca Pallmeyer issued an
order freezing Peregrine’s assets at the CFTC’s request, saying it
appeared there was “good cause” to believe the firm and its founder,
Russell Wasendorf Sr., violated the federal Commodity Exchange Act.
The CFTC sued earlier yesterday, a day after Wasendorf was found by
employees of the firm outside its Cedar Falls, Iowa, offices semiconscious
in his car after what Black Hawk County, Iowa, Sheriff Tony Thompson said
was a suicide attempt.
The National Futures Association, an industry self- regulator, said July 9
that Peregrine reported it had about US$400-million in customer-segregated
funds on or about June 29, of which US$225-million was on deposit at U.S.
Bank.

The regulator said it learned that Peregrine’s chairman “may have
falsified bank records” after finding only US$5-million on deposit. The
brokerage offered futures, cash, foreign exchange and options on futures
trading.
Peregrine is being probed by the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation, said
Sandy Breault, a spokeswoman for the agency’s Omaha, Nebraska office.
WARN Suit
Also yesterday, Ronald Kotulak, who claims to have been employed by
Peregrine in Chicago, sued the firm on behalf of a group of as many as 100
fellow workers, alleging they were the victims of a mass firing July 9 in
violation of federal law.
Citing the U.S. Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act, Kotulak
claimed he and his colleagues are owed wages, commissions, vacation pay and
retirement plan contributions that would have been paid out over the next
two months.
“Defendant was required by the WARN Act to give the plaintiff and the class
members at least 60 days advance written notice of their terminations,”
according to Kotulak’s complaint, filed in the same court as the CFTC
action.
Thompson said in a phone interview yesterday that Wasendorf was found in his
car with a note, the contents of which the sheriff declined to divulge. A
hose ran from the vehicle’s exhaust pipe into the passenger compartment, he
said.
Note Found
An officer with the sheriff’s office arrived just after 8 a.m. July 9 at
Peregrine offices, where paramedics were attending to Wasendorf, according
to an incident report e-mailed to Bloomberg News.
Wasendorf was breathing as he was taken from his car and was incoherent,
according to the report. He was later airlifted to University of Iowa
Hospitals in Iowa City, it said.
“A note was found in the vehicle that indicated possible discrepancies with
accounts at Peregrine Financial Group,” according to the report.
“Some accounting irregularities are being investigated regarding company
accounts” after “a recent emergency involving Wasendorf, a suicide attempt
,” Peregrine told its customers July 9 in an e-mailed message. A copy was
obtained by Bloomberg News and confirmed by Patricia Campbell, a company
spokeswoman in Chicago.

Money Frozen
The NFA “and other officials” have frozen all customer money, the company
said in its e-mail. Wasendorf owns the entire firm, according to the e-mail.
Campbell yesterday didn’t reply to voice-mail and e-mail requests for
comment on the federal probe and CFTC lawsuit.
Peregrine started as Wasendorf & Son Inc. in 1980, according to a timeline
on the firm’s website. It evolved into Peregrine in 1990 and moved its
headquarters to Chicago. Two years later, it was incorporated as a futures
commission merchant.
In 2009, the firm opened a new office at One Peregrine Way in Cedar Falls,
according to the website. Wasendorf was parked outside that office when he
was found July 9.
In its complaint, the CFTC alleged the missing money was misappropriated by
the firm and its founder.
“The whereabouts of the funds is currently unknown,” the regulator said.
MF Global
The possible loss of customer money at Peregrine follows the bankruptcy last
year of MF Global Holdings Ltd., where as much as US$1.6-billion in missing
client cash has yet to be recovered by trustees overseeing the liquidation
of the firm.
Futures industry leaders including CME Group Inc. Chairman Terrence Duffy
said MF Global’s failure was the first time a futures brokerage’s collapse
led to the loss of customer money, which is supposed to be segregated in
separate accounts.
Jefferies Group Inc. has a clearing relationship with Peregrine and after
the broker couldn’t meet a margin call it “began an orderly liquidation”
of the firm’s trades, the New York-based investment-banking firm said
yesterday in a statement.
“Jefferies does not expect to incur any loss in respect of PFG,” according
to the statement. The bank said it will hold all proceeds from the
liquidation in segregated accounts.
The NFA has prohibited Peregrine from soliciting or accepting new customer
accounts or funds, placing trades for customers except to liquidate
positions or distributing customer money.
Receiver Appointed
Pallmeyer’s order yesterday prohibited the destruction of the firm’s books
and records and granted the CFTC’s request for access to inspect them. She
also appointed a receiver, Michael M. Eidelman of Chicago’s Vedder Price
PC, placing him in charge of the business.
“Until further order of the court,” she said, “the receiver’s
compensation is limited to US$25,000 to be satisfied first out of available
assets of defendant Russell R. Wasendorf Sr. and then from available assets
of defendant Peregrine Financial Group Inc.”
Allan J. DeMars, an attorney with the Chicago law firm Spiegel & DeMars, was
appointed trustee for the Peregrine bankruptcy, according to that court’s
electronic docket. The case was assigned to U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Carol A.
Doyle. An initial creditors’ meeting has been scheduled for Sept. 5.
The bankruptcy case is Peregrine Financial Group Inc., 12-27488, U.S.
Bankruptcy Court, Northern District of Illinois (Chicago). The regulatory
case is U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission v. Peregrine Financial
Group Inc., 12-cv-5383, U.S. District Court, Northern District of Illinois (
Chicago). The employment case is Kotulak v. Peregrine Financial Group Inc.,
12-cv-5447, U.S. District Court, Northern District of Illinois (Chicago).
芝加哥7月10日专电(记者 朱诸)美国商品期货交易委员会10日正式起诉期货经
纪商百利金融集团(PFGBest)的母公司PeregrineFinancia
lGroupInc。百利金融集团被曝其客户账户内一笔2.2亿美元左右的资金不
翼而飞,公司创始人兼总裁拉塞尔·沃森道夫曾在9日试图自杀。
据美国期货委员会提交的诉讼,至少从2010年2月开始,百利金融集团的客户账户
中就存在2.2亿美元的资金不足,而该笔资金目前“去向不明”。另外,委员会认为
该公司已经无法达到最低资本金及最低分离资本金的要求,因此无法履行为客户交易的
职责。
美国期货委员会已经开始冻结该公司的资产。另外,美国全国期货协会也对该公司及旗
下的子公司PeregrineAssetManagement采取“紧急强制措施
”。
据了解,该公司客户所有未交易的仓位已经交由其清算经济公司杰弗里斯集团清理。
据媒体报道,公司总裁沃森道夫9日在自己车内试图自杀,目前已被送至医院救治,目
前生死未卜。鉴于该公司为沃森道夫本人全资所有,美国期货委员会也对他提出了诉讼
,并怀疑他伪造银行记录。美国联邦调查局也介入调查。
Peregrine是百利金融集团的母公司,主营业务涉及期货交易、外汇、期权经
纪业务和私人资产管理等。2011年,美国百利金融集团获得中国银监会批准在上海
设立了代表处。
“由于公司在中国的业务量较少,估计不会对当地期货市场造成太大影响,”公司内部
人士说。
