[quote:77d912e380="0366"]不是说除了FXCM没有其他的公司对出价有兴趣吗?[/quote]
那是说相对 REFCOFX的资产。
问题是可以剥离REFCOFX的不确定资产（这FXCM最了解，呵呵）
然后单独拍卖REFCO在FXCM的股权呀。
Refco currency unit talks collapse; examiner named

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Refco Inc.'s (RFXCQ.PK: Quote, Profile, Research) bankruptcy reorganization suffered a setback on Monday when Forex Capital Markets LLC abandoned talks to buy the company's unregulated currency trading unit.
Meanwhile, the U.S. Department of Justice appointed Joshua Hochberg, the former head of its fraud unit, to investigate claims of fraud and other misconduct that may have led to Refco's Chapter 11 filing in Manhattan.
Refco filed for court protection on October 17, amid an exodus of customers following the disclosure that former Chief Executive Phillip Bennett hid $430 million of bad debt.
The futures and commodities broker has been selling assets to pay creditors, to whom it has said it owes $16.8 billion.
Forex Capital had been the only bidder for the currency unit, Refco FX Associates LLC, and agreed to buy it for $110 million. The unit has about 17,000 retail client accounts.
After a committee for unsecured Refco creditors complained that the original price was too low, Forex Capital said it raised its offer to $130 million. The creditors and Refco, nevertheless, remain "unresponsive," it said.
"We knew the creditors were unhappy with our bid, but every time we raised it, they would not give us a firm counteroffer with a real price attached to it," said Drew Niv, Forex Capital's chief executive, in an interview.
"If enough pressure were brought to bear, this deal can be resurrected," Niv continued.
Calls to Refco and a lawyer for the creditors committee were not immediately returned. Earlier this month, Refco set April 11 for a new auction of its foreign exchange assets.
Last November, Refco sold its regulated U.S. commodity futures business to a unit of Britain's Man Group Plc (EMG.L: Quote, Profile, Research).
NEW EXAMINER
The appointment of Hochberg, a partner at McKenna Long & Aldridge LLP in Washington, D.C., was announced less than two weeks after U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Robert Drain authorized the appointment of an independent examiner for Refco.
Hochberg, a white-collar crime specialist, helped lead the Justice Department's response to accounting scandals following the 2001 collapse of Enron Corp.
The U.S. Trustee disclosed the appointment of Hochberg in a Friday court filing. Hochberg was traveling on Monday and could not immediately be reached for comment.
Drain's ruling had disappointed creditors, who said naming an examiner would increase Refco's reorganization costs, leaving less money for them. The judge had earlier rejected the government's bid to appoint a trustee to run Refco's business.
An examiner has fewer powers than a trustee. U.S. bankruptcy law allows an examiner to investigate a debtor's alleged misconduct when it is in creditors' interest, or when the debtor owes more than $5 million.
Bennett has pleaded innocent to eight counts of conspiracy, fraud and other charges.
Drain on Friday gave final approval for Refco's hiring of Goldin Associates LLC as its crisis manager. The firm is led by former New York City comptroller Harrison Goldin.
FXCM最高出价1亿3千万，还是不被接受。
REFCOFX的客人可以直接按照TOM的做法跑人。
就是说REFCOFX本身的价值是很空泛的，甚至是负的。
关键是FXCM的35%股份价值多少。
但是这个事情拖延下去，REFCOFX的客户也会找FXCM的麻烦，很明显REFCOFX / FXCM在美国的办公都是很难让人区分的。 |
