MFGI's O'Brien to be let go

Edith O’Brien, the assistant treasurer for MF Global Inc. who was subpoenaed earlier this week by the Oversight and Investigations subcommittee of the House's Financial Services Committee is expected to be out of a job at the end of this month.  Kent Jarrell, spokesman for the MFGI trustee, noted in an e-mail that O’Brien’s  temporary assignment with the trustee overseeing the liquidation of MFGI will be coming to an end at the end of March as the Chicago office will be closed and all the Chicago based former MFGI employees will be terminated. Jarrell says that by mid-April the trustee will be down to less than 40 former MF Global employees on temporary assignment.
