Refco was a New York City-based financial services company, primarily known as a broker of commodities and futures contracts. It was founded in 1969 by Raymond Earl Friedman as Ray E. Friedman and Co. Prior to its collapse in October, 2005, the firm had over $4 billion in approximately 200,000 customer accounts, and it was the largest broker on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange. The firm's balance sheet at the time of the collapse showed about $75 billion in assets and a roughly equal amount in liabilities. Though these filings have since been disowned by the company, they are probably roughly accurate in showing the firm's level of leverage.

  • Refco est une société de services financiers basée à New York, principalement connue comme un courtier de marchandises et de contrats à terme. Elle a été fondée en 1969 comme "Ray E. Friedman and Co." Avant son effondrement en octobre 2005, l'entreprise comptait plus de 4 milliards $ dans environ 200 000 comptes clients, et ce fut le plus grand courtier sur le Chicago Mercantile Exchange. Le bilan de l'entreprise au moment de l'effondrement a montré environ 75 milliards $ d'actifs et d'un montant à peu près égal au passif. Bien que ces documents ont depuis été désavoué par la société, ils sont probablement plus ou moins précis dans montrant le niveau d'endettement de l'entreprise. (fr)
