Quote from cstfx:
Accounts were not insured. No SIPC. They were in bankruptcy for 2 yrs. Creditors made claim against traders' funds, and since traders were unsecured creditors, they were one of the last to get their money. In the end, most account holders got less than 20% of account value. Account holders were supposed to sign something, I think, to accept payout/transfer. I don't know where you can go, but you might want to Google Refco and start from there and maybe you can find out who to contact, because after all this time, I have no idea who finally ended up as broker for the accounts. I think it was either Gain or Man that finally got control.
Good Luck. And thank God you only had a mini. Many people lost far more money, some in the 100,000's.
