明富环球破产最大的输家

    在破产程序中，无担保债权人通常在有担保的借贷人之后才能获得清偿。根据明富环球的破产申请文件，该公司最大的无担保债权人包括： 持有约12亿美元债券的摩根大通银行（JP Morgan Chase）；持有10.2亿美元债券的德意志银行（Deutsche Bank AG）；持有390万美元债券的Headstrong Services LL 咨询公司；康卡斯特公司（Comcast Corp. ）旗下的美国全国广播公司财经频道（CNBC）要求赔偿845,397美元（未支付的广告费）。

明富环球的明星银行家

    乔恩•柯赛2010年3月份出任明富环球CEO的时候，这家公司是华尔街少有的几家还在招兵买马的的金融机构之一。当时，世界各地的银行受金融危机影响，裁掉了数以十万计的员工。曾经在1994年至1999年执掌高盛集团的乔恩•柯赛招聘了800位员工，试图使这家经纪交易商转型为一家投资银行。

    据彭博社（Bloomberg）报道，当时招募的人员包括：瑞银华宝（UBS AG）美洲公司前首席风险官迈克尔•斯托克曼、花旗集团（Citigroup Inc）欧洲固定收益部前主管理查德•穆尔，以及同样来自瑞银华宝，并担任过这家投行董事的乔恩•巴斯。

    这些人的最终归宿在哪里，谁都说不准，但至少就目前而言，这些明星银行家中的许多人很有可能会成为美国数百万失业大军的一员。

乔恩•柯赛本人

    外界普遍认为，乔恩•柯赛当年之所以愿意出任明富环球的掌门人，是为了在华尔街重振雄风。担任了一段时间的公职之后，这位前高盛集团CEO试图推动明富环球进入更具风险性的领域，进而将其改造成一个更具影响力的金融机构。无论柯赛的动机如何，这家公司的倒闭似乎正在考验他在华尔街的声誉。柯赛跟弗劳尔斯拥有长期的商业关系，数十年前他们就曾经一起在高盛集团共事。直到最近，柯赛还是弗劳尔斯私募股权公司的运营合伙人之一。

    乔恩•柯赛能否设法重新成为华尔街的宠儿，依然有待观察。我们知道，即便破产法院撤销他高达1,200万美元的遣返费，他也不会穷困潦倒。但目前，联邦监管当局正在针对近来明富环球损失数千万客户资金一事展开调查，他在华尔街的声誉或许已变得岌岌可危了。

    In a bankruptcy, unsecured creditors get repaid after secured lenders. According to MF Global's bankruptcy filing, some of the firm's biggest unsecured lenders include: JP Morgan Chase (JPM), a bondholder trustee with a claim of approximately $1.2 billion; Deutsche Bank AG (DB), a trustee with a claim of $1.02 billion in bonds; Headstrong Services LL with a claim of $3.9 million; and Comcast Corp. (CMCSA)'s CNBC with a claim of $845,397 (unpaid ad sales).

MF Global's star bankers

    When Corzine took over as MF Global's CEO in March 2010, the firm was one of the few on Wall Street adding staff as banks worldwide announced hundreds of thousands of layoffs amid the financial crisis. Corzine, who helped run Goldman Sachs from 1994 to 1999, hired 800 employees in efforts to turn the broker-dealer into an investment bank.

    As Bloomberg reports, recruits included: Michael Stockman, UBS AG's former chief risk officer for the Americas, Richard Moore, once Citigroup Inc (C)'s head of European fixed-income, and Jon Bass, also previously of UBS and a member of the investment bank's board.

    It's anyone's guess where they might end up, but for now at least, many of them will likely join the millions already in the job market.

Jon Corzine himself

    Corzine was widely viewed as attempting to revive his Wall Street career by taking the helm at MF Global. Coming off a stint in public service, the former Goldman Sachs CEO tried to makeover MF Global into something bigger by taking on risky trades. Whatever his intentions, the firm's meltdown seems to be testing his rep on Wall Street. Corzine had a long business relationship with Flowers, dating back to their days at Goldman decades ago. And up until recently, Corzine was an operating partner at Flowers private equity firm.

    It remains to be seen if Corzine will be able to work his way back into the graces of Wall Street. And we know he won't end up poor, even if his $12 million severance payment is rescinded by the bankruptcy court. But for now, as federal regulators investigate hundreds of millions of dollars in customer money missing from MF Global in recent days, his reputation on the Street may be at stake.
