Group of financial institutions settles MF Global suit

Goldman, JP Morgan and Citigroup among firms in settlement

A group of well-known financial institutions settled a lawsuit brought by former MF Global Holdings investors for $74 million.

In a filing with US District Court in Manhattan, lawyers for the plaintiffs said the settlement with financial institutions that served as underwriters for the sale of MF Global's stock and bonds before its collapse-among them units of Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan and Citigroup - "dismisses and releases" all claims against them in the suit.
