Announcement re Customer Distributions
On October 4, 2012, the Trustee appeared before the Bankruptcy Court at a continued hearing on the Trustee’s motion to authorize an interim distribution for the benefit of future customers. The Trustee requested the entry of an order authorizing him to make a bulk transfer (the “Bulk Transfer”) to Vision Financial Markets LLC (“Vision”) of the customer funds that are subject of the interim distribution in the approximate amount of $123,000,000 and certain of the Debtor’s approximately 13,586 (4d Accounts) and 1,053 (30.7 Accounts). Vision has agreed to pay the Trustee $325,000.00 for the Bulk Transfer. The Trustee will submit a proposed order (the “Order”) to the Bankruptcy Court on October 5, 2012, which Order will authorize the Bulk Transfer. Details and other provisions regarding the Bulk Transfer will be incorporated into the Order. Upon entry of the Order, the Trustee shall cause the Bulk Transfer to occur and Vision shall accept the Bulk Transfer within ten (10) business days following the entry of the Order. Following the Bulk Transfer, Vision will hold the interim distribution amount in separate segregated or secured amount accounts for sixty (60) days during which time any holder of a covered futures account may request that Vision either return the funds, begin trading the funds at Vision or transfer the funds to another FCM . The Trustee anticipates the entry of the Order on October 5, 2012. As soon as the Order is entered, a copy will be posted on this website.

Didn't pay attention when this happened at MFGlobal. Article implies that Vision bought those accounts also?
Seems the $325,000 should go to the segregated funds, not to the bankruptcy estate. And who says anyone wants an account at Vision.
My first reaction is to have it transferred to my Dorman account.

You do know that there is a deadline to file a claim if you are an account holder?
The deadline is sometime in November.
I tried to file my claim Saturday but the website for the trustee wasn't working correctly.

Important Message for Customers of Peregrine Financial Group and Peregrine Asset Management - Updated on September 28, 2012
Quoting
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 (
https://www.pfgchapter7.com ) 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.

I did and sent them the bank's instruction for wire transfer last week.
So... it wasn't exactly clear how the claim was to be submitted. I filled out the acrobat form, printed it. Then scanned it along with my June and July 2012 statements. Next I planned to submit via the trustees website.
Did you send a hardcopy or via the website?
Now it sounds like the funds are going to Vision whether we want them to or no?
very confusing situation,
Archie
