Knight Capital Considers Bankruptcy Asset Sale of Fox Business

Submitted by webadmin on

Knight Capital Group's Chief Executive Tom Joyce is considering bankruptcy reorganization and a sale of assets, according to reports by Fox Business Network, Reuters reported yesterday. A trading glitch with Knight's software roiled markets and wiped out $440 million of the firm's capital, forcing it to seek new funding as its shares plunged more than 80 percent in two days. A number of brokerages and broker-dealers have suspended routing trading orders through Knight. Among them are TD Ameritrade, Scott Trade, Fidelity Investments, Vanguard Group, E*Trade and Pershing LLC, a division of BNY Mellon.
