apparently refco debt is greatly discounted now as well, trading fairly near 'certain bankruptcy' range on friday from what i heard. It isn't my market, but it IS the only refco-related item still trading.

From about 45 minutes ago:

NEW YORK, Oct 16 (Reuters) - An investor group led by private equity firm JC Flowers & Co is in the lead to buy Refco Inc's (RFX.N: Quote, Profile, Research) futures business, a source familiar with the matter said on Sunday, as Refco's advisers met for the second day to salvage the troubled firm.

My guess is that the futures biz gets sold and the holding company and 2 shut-down divisions go into bankruptcy before midnight.
