So we must ask: What is Penson Financial? Where did it come from? And who were its clients?
The answer is that Penson Financial was built almost entirely from brokerages tied to organized crime. And nearly all of its major clients (the traders and partner brokerages that accounted for most of Penson’s massive volumes) are tied to one or more of the following:
1) the Mafia
2) jihadi terrorist groups
3) hostile foreign governments, including those of Iran and Russia.
There was a time when I would have found this hard to believe. But after many years investigating the strange features of the American markets, I finally reached the same conclusion that Admiral Dennis Blair, then Director of National Intelligence, articulated in his 2009 report to Congress.
In that report, Admiral Blair stated that there was a “dangerous nexus” between organized crime, terrorist outfits, and some hostile governments. Admiral Blair also stated that organized crime had vastly increased its “penetration of legitimate financial and commercial markets…raising the risk of significant damage to the global financial system.”
Unfortunately, the Director of National Intelligence does not regulate the markets. That’s the job of the SEC, which has shown no inclination to do anything about the problem. So it is left to us amateurs to tell the story of Penson Financial, an outfit that sits smack in the center of a “dangerous nexus” that was (and still is) looking to do “significant damage to the global financial system.”
