WASHINGTON -- The Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC), which maintains a special reserve fund authorized by Congress to help investors at bankrupt brokerage firms, announced today that a U.S. Bankruptcy Court judge in Minneapolis has approved a request to make a distribution that permits 155 community banks and other customers to recover at least 96 percent of the net equity value of their investments at the time of the 2001 failure of MJK Clearing, a subsidiary of Minneapolis-based Stockwalk Group, Inc. Involving claims by more than 175,000 investors, MJK Clearing is the largest brokerage liquidation case ever handled by SIPC.
