Les clients de la firme de courtage ayant investi en or ou en argent avaient des titres de propriétés, un reçu de l'entrepôt sécurisé, des numéros de série désignant précisément les barres d'or et d'argent achetées. Et ils payaient et continuent de payer des frais de garde dans le cadre d'un contrat de location stipulant bien leur statut de propriétaires.
Et pourtant... Le liquidateur judiciaire ne tient aucun compte de tout ça et a saisi purement et simplement les actifs des clients de MF Global pour payer des créanciers du type de JP Morgan.
Cela s'appelle une confiscation, et elle ne s'est pas produite dans les années 30 ni dans un futur imaginaire, mais ici et maintenant.
Moralité: le plus grand risque de confiscation existe sur l'or papier des courtiers du genre de MF Global plutôt que sur l'or physique, acheter un certificat de propriété n'est en aucun cas équivalent à la possession véritable du métal; seule vraie propriété, et stocker son or dans des pays aussi exotiques que les USA est une très très mauvaise idée...
First, all notions of personal property rights were essentially destroyed when the MF Global “trustee” began seizing customers’ gold and silver bullion held in storage if that bullion was purchased through contracts brokered by MF Global. In case you’re not following, let me restate. MF Global customers who traded in precious metals and actually took delivery and OWNED bullion, as in outright, free and clear OWNERSHIP, complete with a warehouse receipt (aka title) with SERIAL NUMBERS designating exactly which physical bars they OWNED, and were PAYING RENT to STORE their own property in a “secure” VAULT, complete with statements indicating that these storage fees were paid in full, are having THEIR PROPERTY THAT THEY OWN AND ARE PAYING RENT TO STORE CONFISCATED by the MF Global trustee in order to feed the gaping maw that is the MF Global “estate”.
...
Do you understand what is happening now? This is outright confiscation of personal property. After having their money stolen out of their accounts and being locked out of their accounts, unable to trade or even liquidate WHILE THE MARKETS CONTINUED TO TRADE, these people are now having their PERSONAL PHYSICAL PROPERTY stolen and redistributed to the MF Global estate, in order to feed Corzine’s gambling debts – MADE ILLEGALLY WITH FUNDS STOLEN OUT OF THE CUSTOMER ACCOUNTS – to repay counterparties with J.P. Morgan at the fore.
