In Owen Platt's book he quotes the following denial from Refco:
Dear Sir,
With regards to your recent enquiry, we do not have a client registered with any of the following trading names:
PIPS
PIPS Inc
Pureinvestor
PIPS Capital
Further to that, there is no margin or lending facility in record extended to any of the above trading names in any of the major exchanges we are active in, this includes CME, CBOT, LIFFE, EDX, TIFFE, EUREX. This applies to listed and OTC contracts within any of the above metioned exchanges.With regards to your enquiry about KLOFFE, it is a highly iliquid market with a very limited number of listed contracts mainly focused on local index futures/options. To the best of my knowledge none of the companies named above are active on KLOFFE.
Please do not hesitate to contact me should you need aditional information.
Regards
James XXXXXXXXX
