MF Global Trustee Sues Corzine Over Firm's Collapse
[DEALBOOK.NYTIMES] A bankruptcy trustee has sued Jon S. Corzine and other former MF Global executives, claiming they were "grossly negligent" in the lead-up to the brokerage firm's collapse.The action by the trustee, Louis J. Freeh, comes just weeks after he agreed to postpone the lawsuit and enter mediation with Mr. Corzine. Now, by filing litigation that appeared to catch the MF Global executives off-guard, Mr. Freeh may have jeopardized those talks. A front man for Mr. Corzine, Steven Goldberg, disputed the accusations and questioned why Mr. Freeh was even bringing the case. "We question why the trustee chose to file this lawsuit, which is filled with seriously flawed allegations, while he is participating in court-ordered mediation of these very claims."
