MF Global to get $168 million back from JPMorgan

By Nick Brown

NEW YORK (Reuters) - JPMorgan Chase & Co , under scrutiny for its ties to collapsed commodities firm MF Global, will return $168 million to the estate of MF's broker-dealer, the estate's trustee announced on Friday.

James Giddens, tasked with winding down the estate and recovering as much money as possible for its trader clients who lost money when the firm went bust, said JPMorgan will return "excess collateral" that was held in its estate when the bankruptcy began.

Giddens said the returned funds will help with get money back to customers, but is separate from ongoing discussions with JPMorgan over potential legal claims from Giddens that the bank could be holding customer money.

MF Global declared bankruptcy on October 31. Commodity traders with personal accounts lost millions of dollars when, according to Giddens, the firm improperly used client money to cover corporate transactions as the firm sank.

Giddens has said customer accounts could be short about $1.6 billion.

JPMorgan has retained a security interest in the returned collateral so it can seek to recover it if certain allegedly secured positions in MF Global's capital structure turn out to be uncollateralized, according to Giddens' statement.

JPMorgan was the lead lender on MF Global's $1.2 billion loan, and was also one of its primary clearing banks. Customer advocates, primarily Commodity Customer Coalition leader James Koutoulas, have expressed suspicion that customer money could be at JPMorgan.

A spokeswoman for the bank declined to comment.

KOUTOULAS DEEMED 'FRIVOLOUS'

Separately on Friday, Koutoulas was rebuked by a judge for filing "frivolous" court papers attacking the mounting fees of Louis Freeh, the trustee unwinding the MF Global parent company.

U.S. Bankruptcy Court Judge Martin Glenn rejected arguments from Koutoulas that Freeh should not be allowed to extend a Friday deadline to file financial data about the company. Koutoulas had argued the postponement would allow Freeh, a former FBI director, to rack up unreasonable fees.

Glenn stopped short of granting a request by Freeh's attorney, Brett Miller, to sanction Koutoulas, but warned he may impose such punishments for future frivolous acts.

"Be fair warned," Glenn told Koutoulas, a fund manager and lawyer who has assumed the de facto role of representing MF Global's former customers.

Miller said Freeh planned to file the bulk of the data that sparked the controversy, which lays out information on MF Global's debts, assets, transactional history and personnel, later on Friday.

Koutoulas' fight began when Freeh estimated this week that professionals in MF Global's bankruptcy have accrued nearly $25 million in fees. Freeh's report did not say how much of that figure was accrued by Freeh and his lawyers.

Freeh, who has not yet submitted formal compensation requests, would be paid from money he ultimately recovers on behalf of the MF estate through litigation and other means.

Freeh separately asked the court to extend by one month a Friday deadline to file financial data about the company's debts, assets, transaction history and personnel.

Koutoulas objected that Freeh, who had been granted five similar extensions in the past, acted in bad faith by drawing out his work while continuing to rake in fees.

In bankruptcy, legal fees are paid before other creditor claims, meaning each dollar Freeh accrues is a dollar taken away from creditors, Koutoulas said.

Glenn, though, said Koutoulas did not back up his "bad faith" claims with evidence that Freeh actually had an impure motive for seeking the extension.

There is also the question of whether customers would be eligible to be paid back from money recovered by Freeh. Money he recovers is designed to pay back creditors of MF Global's parent estate, not customers of its broker-dealer unit.

Koutoulas said after the hearing that his group, the Commodity Customer Coalition, will soon file a motion seeking to convert MF Global's bankruptcy from a Chapter 11 to a more streamlined liquidation, known as Chapter 7. The move, he says, would save the estate money.

In Chapter 7, a bankrupt estate is put in the hands of a trustee whose job is to sell assets as quickly as possible and distribute money to creditors.

Koutoulas said he initially planned to make the request at Friday's hearing but after being called "frivolous," the moment didn't seem right.

"The plan was to get that into today's hearing, but I ended up having to be a little more defensive than I thought," he said.

The case is In re MF Global Holdings Ltd, U.S. Bankruptcy Court, Southern District of New York, No. 11-15059.

Wegelin braced for U.S. legal fight as staff charged

ZURICH (Reuters) - Swiss private bank Wegelin & Co confirmed on Wednesday three employees had been charged by U.S. authorities for helping U.S. taxpayers hide some $1.2 billion in assets from tax authorities.

Wegelin said it had prepared its legal assessment of the matter ahead of the expected proceedings.

"Although U.S. law has some scope for interpretation in this case, Wegelin & Co is certain that Swiss law was not broken at any point ... The accused employees worked for the bank within the borders of Switzerland," Wegelin said in an emailed statement to Reuters.

Founded in 1741 and one of Switzerland's oldest private banks, Wegelin has ended all dealings with U.S. clients.

The office of the Manhattan U.S. Attorney said on Tuesday that the indictment charges the bankers with trying to "capture business lost by UBS AG and another large international Swiss bank in the wake of widespread news reports that the Internal Revenue Service was investigating UBS" in 2008 and 2009.

If convicted, the bankers face a maximum prison term of five years under the conspiracy charge.

U.S. authorities, who suspect tens of thousands of Americans have been using Swiss banks to avoid paying billions of dollars in tax, are investigating scores of Swiss banks and international banks with Swiss operations.

Separately, the U.S. Department of Justice is conducting criminal probes of 11 banks which are also either Swiss, or global with major Swiss operations.

The investigations, an outgrowth of scrutiny of UBS, are focused on Credit Suisse AG and Basler Kantonalbank among others.

In 2009, UBS paid $780 million to settle Justice Department criminal charges that it helped thousands of U.S. clients hide $20 billion.

Swiss authorities want a global civil settlement with U.S. authorities in which the entire Swiss banking industry would pay a fine.

AT&T, rivals delay legal fights over T-Mobile

(Reuters) - AT&T Inc and Sprint Nextel Corp asked a U.S. court on Tuesday to delay hearings in their private litigation over whether the telecommunications giant can buy T-Mobile USA, and the judge promptly agreed.

The request was similar to one that AT&T and the Justice Department made on Monday regarding the government's antitrust suit, which U.S. District Judge Ellen Huvelle also promptly signed.

An identical request was agreed in a case against AT&T brought by small regional phone company C Spire Wireless.

AT&T's agreement to delays in the cases, after previously insisting on expediting them to prevent Deutsche Telekom AG's T-Mobile USA from deteriorating in limbo, have led to pessimism that the $39 billion deal will be completed.

AT&T has also set aside $4 billion in reserves for what could eventually be a $6 billion deal breakup payment to T-Mobile.

AT&T and Sprint asked for the next hearing in the case to be January 18, at 2 p.m. EST (1900 GMT), the same time as the next hearing in the Justice Department's case against AT&T.

Huvelle has ordered AT&T and T-Mobile USA to tell the court by noon on January 12 whether they plan to continue to pursue their agreed deal or an amended one and to give an update on their plans for seeking necessary approval from the U.S. Federal Communications Commission.

Both the Justice Department and the FCC have objected to the deal on the grounds that it would hurt competition in the U.S. wireless market. The purchase of No. 4 U.S. mobile operator T-Mobile USA would vault No. 2-ranked AT&T into first place in the U.S. market.

The cases before the court are USA v. AT&T, T-Mobile USA Inc and Deutsche Telekom AG, case No. 11-1560; Sprint Nextel Corp v. AT&T Inc et al, No. 11-1600 and Cellular South (C Spire) v. AT&T, No. 11-1690. All are before the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia.

Costly Kindle fight hurting Barnes & Noble

By Phil Wahba

(Reuters) - Barnes & Noble Inc's expensive investments to keep its Nook e-reader competitive with Amazon's Kindle led to an unexpected quarterly loss for the bookseller, sending its shares down as much as 24 percent on Thursday.

The No. 1 U.S. bookstore chain, which has bet its future on the Nook as book sales shrivel, said sales from the Nook group of devices, including content like e-books, rose 85 percent to $220 million in its fiscal second quarter ended October 29.

But updating the device and promoting it through an aggressive national television and newspaper advertising campaign weighed on results and will continue to do so, the company said.

"Barnes & Noble really has to invest more than it previously expected to keep up with Kindle," Morningstar analyst Peter Wahlstrom said.

Barnes & Noble, which launched a tablet version of Nook last month, said it "plans to invest more heavily" on promoting the device to win new customers.

The retailer now expects full-year earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization to come in at the lower end of its previous forecast of $210 million to $250 million.

The company's shares were down $3.06, or 17.5 percent, at $14.38 in midday trading after falling as low as $13.28 earlier in the day.

S&P Capital IQ analyst Michael Souers lowered his recommendation the shares to "sell" from "hold."

Between the launch of the Nook Tablet on November 7 and the close of markets on Wednesday, the shares rose 50 percent on the belief that Barnes & Noble was keeping pace with Amazon.com Inc in the e-reader and lower-cost tablet wars.

The Nook Tablet has been well reviewed and well received. That device and other versions of the Nook helped lift sales at Barnes & Noble superstores open at least 15 months by 10.9 percent over the U.S. Thanksgiving weekend, the busiest of the year for shopping.

TOUGH FIGHT AGAINST AMAZON

Barnes & Noble, which launched the first version of the Nook just two years ago, is second only to Amazon in the e-books market. It claims to have 27 percent of the market.

But for all its quick success, Barnes & Noble is up against a formidable, deep-pocketed rival whose strategy often entails undercutting competitors on price. In September, when Amazon launched its Kindle Fire tablet, it also slashed prices on other Kindles.

At the same time it introduced the Nook Tablet last month, Barnes & Noble cut prices on other Nook devices. Interim Chief Financial Officer Allen Lindstrom acknowledged on a call with Wall Street analysts Thursday that the price cuts ate into margins in the second quarter.

And the Kindle Fire appears to be a hit. Amazon said this week that overall Kindle sales quadrupled on Black Friday compared with the same day last year.

Even as the Nook Tablet sold well at Barnes & Noble stores, analysts were concerned that other retailers that carry the product were giving it less prominence than the Kindle. Nook is also sold at chains like Sears and Best Buy.

"Incremental distribution for the Nook is likely having less impact than we anticipated," Goldman Sachs wrote in a note on Monday.

During the second quarter, same-store sales at Barnes & Noble's namesake stores slid 0.6 percent. Sales of paper books continued to fall, but the company got some relief from the final liquidation of rival Borders Inc, which occurred half way into the quarter.

Barnes & Noble said in August that sales could get a net bump for the year of $150 million to $200 million from the Borders bankruptcy. It did not update that estimate on Thursday, but Lindstrom said sales were "trending" in that direction.

Same-store sales at its College bookstore chain rose 0.4 percent in the second quarter. Overall sales fell 0.6 percent to $1.89 billion.

Barnes & Noble reported a net loss of $6.6 million, or 17 cents per share, for the quarter, compared with a loss of $12.6 million, or 22 cents per share, a year earlier.

Analysts were expecting a profit of 3 cents per share, according to Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S.

After offering in May to buy Barnes & Noble for $1 billion, or $17 on share, billionaire John Malone's Liberty Interactive Corp decided instead in August to invest $204 million and purchase preferred stock at a strike price of $17 that could give it a 16.6 percent stake in the company.
