Good question. I would probably contact the Bankruptcy Trustee, or maybe the NFA. There should be a link on the websites set up for the bankruptcy. If you have received e-mails from the NFA or Trustee, you might be able to respond to those, too.
Important Message for Customers of Peregrine Financial Group and Peregrine Asset Management - Updated on September 28, 2012
General Information
Peregrine Financial Group, Inc. (PFG) filed for liquidation in a U.S. bankruptcy court in Chicago on July 10, 2012. Ira Bodenstein was appointed by the U.S. Trustee to act as trustee for PFG's estate. This includes marshaling and recovering the assets of PFG's estate, including customer property, and distributing those assets pursuant to the U.S. Bankruptcy Code and CFTC Part 190 rules. The Trustee has been authorized to operate PFG on a limited basis in order to wind down the business. Customers are encouraged to visit the website ( Peregrine Financial Group, Inc.: Home) set up by the Trustee frequently to obtain current information about the case.
Customer Claim Information
Customer claim forms are now available on the Trustee's website which can be accessed by clicking here. Customers must file the applicable claim forms in order to preserve their rights to receive distributions of customer property. The forms are available based on the type of account held at PFG (futures, forex, physical precious metals, or OTC precious metals) and are due no later than 5:00 p.m. (CST) on November 16, 2012. Instructions for filing claim forms can be found beneath the forms listed on the Trustee's website.
The Trustee filed a motion on September 6, 2012 seeking approval from the court to make an interim distribution to PFG's futures customers. On September 20, 2012, the bankruptcy court entered an order granting the motion. A copy of the order containing details about the distribution can be viewed on the Trustee's website or by clicking here. Although all customers are required to submit a claim form by November 16, 2012, claim forms need not be received prior to this interim distribution.
We will continue to provide additional information as it becomes available on our website and via email.
Information for Farmers, Ranchers, and Agricultural Cooperatives
FXCM has been lobbying Congress since 2005 to include retail forex in any bankrupcy prodeeding but we have not had much success due to the hesitancy of Washington to re-open the bankruptcy code on behalf of retail forex customers. In the meantime, the PFG bankruptcy should give retail forex traders pause in regards to opening a retail forex account with a Futures Commission Merchant instead of a Retail Forex Exchange Dealer due to the disparity in treatment the two class of customers are getting in this bankruptcy.
We are also still encouraging traders to contact CFTC at [email protected] to urge greater protections for retail forex traders.
I can't vouch for the traders themselves. However, if you goto the website they setup they have an extensive list of FAQ's that should answer your questions: FAQs - PFG Forex Metals Legal Account
