The only problem I have with that article is this 2005 law http://syntheticassets.wordpress.com/2009/08/15/the-no-derivative-left-behind-act-of-2005-1-5/ The biggest problems in our economy are due to the law changes that too place during Alan Greenspan's fed tenure, it doesn't really matter if the president was Reagan a Bush or Clinton, they all kissed up to Greenspan and much of the crisis happened legally due to law changes written by the ex-Goldman execs with Gov jobs. http://www.cftclaw.com/2011/12/cme-group-sue-mf-global-executives/ The outcome of this CME lawsuit and potential law changes that will put customers ahead of derivatives will be interesting.

I'll bet you there will be a settlement, no admittance of wrongdoing, and no law changes to correct the situation...Crap, but you already know that!

Greenspan....Even Ayn Rand thought there was something wrong with him and she was a loon herself.

LOL , I'm gonna bet the CME traders pull a win out of it, sadly I say this because I think oil traders will have some economic pull, but it could at least put some of those draconian laws on the table. I will humbly admit I'm wrong if it's the case.
