If Refco Isn't Scary, What Is?
By GRETCHEN MORGENSON
Published: October 16, 2005

Financial market tremors or not, there is plenty to be afraid of in the Refco mess. First, of course, is the frightening spectacle of the company's chief executive, Phillip R. Bennett, hiding a personal loan from Refco worth almost half a billion dollars from his shareholders, as described by prosecutors in their suit charging him with securities fraud. Then there is the inability of Refco's auditors or investment banks to notice the repeated shuffling of this loan on and off the company's balance sheet.
