\t\t\t\tJon S. Corzine, the former head of MF Global Inc. has arrived at a securities settlement<\/a> with the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission in which he will pay a $5M penalty for his involvement in the firm\u2019s illegal use of nearly $1B in customer money and for not properly supervising the way these funds were handled. A federal judge has approved the deal.<\/p>\n

The regulator sued Corzine in 2013 and he must now pay the civil penalty out of his own funds rather than have an insurer cover the costs. Also part of the deal, Corzine has agreed to a permanent bar from heading up a futures broker or registering with the CFTC. This means that he will no longer be allowed to trade other people\u2019s funds in the future industry unless the trades are below specific threshold limits.<\/p>\n

Corzine\u2019s settlement with the SEC comes after he\u2019d resolved most of the private litigation against him related to MF Global. Investors and the industry were flummoxed when the almost $1B in customer couldn\u2019t be accounted for. Fortunately a trustee has since recovered the missing funds for the investors, which are both individuals and hedge funds, to whom the money belonged. The money, which were segregated customer funds, was inappropriately used to fund the futures commission merchant\u2019s proprietary operations and that of its affiliates, pay FCM customers for withdrawals involving customer funds, and pay brokerage firm securities customers.<\/p>\n
