Former MFGlobal Employees File Class-Action Lawsuit Against Jon Corzine, MFG Directors

Hold Your Horses
There Jonny!

Former MF Global employees have filed a class-action suit in NY US District Court against Jon Corzine and MFG Directors, alleging them PERSONALLY RESPONSIBLE & LIABLE for providing fraudulent and false information regarding the health of MFG.  Note that the suit is not filed against the former MFG corporation, but against Corzine and the board of directors themselves, who are most assuredly NOT currently bankrupt.


Two former employees of MF Global have filed a class-action lawsuit against the firm's former Chief Executive Jon Corzine, other senior executives and board directors on behalf of themselves and current and former employees who acquired stock in the company while Corzine led the firm.

The lawsuit, filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, alleges that the defendants provided false information regarding the company's financial condition and made statements that artificially inflated the stock price.
Once MF Global's exposure to risky trades in European sovereign debt became known, the firm was downgraded, investors got spooked and the stock price dropped, causing employees' shares to lose value.
"Jon Corzine and the board breached their fiduciary duty to their employees and destroyed their careers and retirement savings," Jacob Zamansky, lead counsel for the plaintiffs, said in an email.
The plaintiffs are Monica Rodriguez, the New York-based head of credit for the Americas, and Cyrille Guillaume, the London-based managing director of the commodities and stock division.
