наткнулся на любопытные заметки:

Farr Financial Inc., a futures broker based in San Jose, Calif., sued Sentinel earlier this week. Farr has $16 million to $18 million invested with Sentinel and if the firm doesn't return that cash, Farr said it may go out of business. A representative at Farr declined to comment on Friday.
Velocity Futures LP, another futures broker that invested $18 million with Sentinel, filed a legal motion to intervene in the Farr suit. Sentinel manages its clients' money in large pools, rather than separate accounts, so any money that's returned to one customer leaves less for all the others, Velocity said.
"Because Velocity has limited assets, any transaction that Sentinel enters into in order to generate funds to pay Farr will have a direct impact on Velocity," the company said in its motion. "The disposition of Farr's claim may, as a practical matter, impair or impede Velocity's ability to protect its interests."

низзя доверять свои средства американским брокерам! куда не плюнь, везде высокорискованные операции... что у мелочи, что у крупняка.
