“The overall goal is to change the culture of the organization to be more activist,” Koutoulas told Reuters in an interview. Koutoulas and Roe co-founded the Commodity Customer Coalition in late 2011 to help former customers of MF Global get their money back, and now want NFA to take the lead as an advocate for customers. First on their agenda, they say, is to bar Jon Corzine, MF Global’s former chief executive, from the commodity futures business.
