Doors are closing on MF Global

The sale to Interactive Brokers Group is off because MF Global seems to have mislaid $600,000,000. 'Mislaid' is probably the right word as the accounting and compliance systems are awry. MF violated the most basic accounting and compliance concepts in that it failed to keep customer money separate from company money. This is starting to turn into a major fiasco.
