The trustee liquidating MF Global Inc. will receive $130 million from CME Group Inc. out of a total of $175 million the exchange is freeing up to pay back the bankrupt brokerage's customers and other creditors, Bloomberg News reported yesterday. Commodity customers who traded on U.S. exchanges will get $65 million, with the same amount going to customers who traded on foreign exchanges, while non-customer creditors will get $16.5 million, trustee James Giddens said yesterday. The money, belonging to MF Global and currently held or controlled by CME, will be returned under an agreement that requires a bankruptcy judge's approval, with CME paying out some of it directly, he said.
