    Default Update from Forex Scholar

    Trouble Ahead for MG Forex? Last year Rosenthal Collins bought MG Forex just as the first capital requirement was set to kick in. RCG then announced that MG Forex was a subsidiary of Rosenthal Collins Securities, which is regulated by FINRA, not the NFA. Thus MG Forex was able to avoid the $20 million capital requirement since FINRA members need only $250,000 in capital.

    Default Govt's deposit guarantee put to the test

    Monday 2nd March 2009

    The government's deposit guarantee scheme is set to have its first test-run, as of today.
    Mascot Finance will be the first company to test the scheme since its inception in October last year, after the company was placed into liquidation today, owing $70 million to 2,558 investors.


    All eligible Mascot investors will get 100% of the money they are entitled to under the crown's scheme, Treasury secretary John Whitehead says.

    Default

    yes thats a serious worry that the guarantee is getting tapped so quickly. it was always just going to be an easy way out for lesser-rated finance institutions. Seems their loan portfolio wasnt too well diversified and when the major customer defaults its all over goodnight nurse. except its not coz they are indeed A Lucky Mascot

    2558 people with 70mill all up. u tell me - are they idiots? or are they actually pretty clever? i believe that they still get all their interest payments. so they are losing time but not really money and they'd possibly already given time.
    and its safe as houses ah no , a lot safer than houses
    For clarity, nothing I say is advice....

    Default A total of 72 deposit takers have been granted the Crown guarantee.

    Tax payers money being using to pay these defaults.
    .

    The Government says it had no reason to believe that Mascot Finance would fail when it granted it a taxpayer-funded deposit guarantee in January. Questions over whether the Crown should have given Mascot Finance a guarantee arose after if it went into receivership seven weeks after getting a guarantee.



    A total of 72 deposit takers have been granted the Crown guarantee.

    Default ??????? Hard to Believe

    .


    A former Blue Chip managing director has bought a South Island finance company and wants to raise $50 million in term deposits.
    Nick Wevers and his associates bought Priority Finance, a Christchurch business founded by Noel and Kent Gillman, which has since had its name changed to Viaduct Capital. A new prospectus has been registered for the term deposit issue.
    The money would be backed by the Government's deposit guarantee scheme, Wevers said.
