Any word on who they are introducing to? Is it still Penson? They nearly went under last year, and finally were bought by Apex. I suppose that must have cost MBT quite a few equities/futures clients. The Pension situation dragged on for months and post-MFGlobal i doubt clients have a high tolerance-level for stuff like that.

Can you get more information from MBT on exactly what made them decide to withdraw? Perhaps at the next shareholder meeting / conference call something will be announced.
