Jon Corzine, former chief executive officer of collapsed commodity brokerage MF Global Holdings Ltd. (MFGLQ), was sued for fraud by Montana farmers who claim he oversaw the misappropriation of their commodity trading account funds.

The lawsuit filed today by three farmers and a cattle- raising operation in Montana seeks to represent a nationwide group of commodities futures customers whose money went missing amid the $41 billion bankruptcy of MF Global, parent of the futures brokerage that is being liquidated. A trustee is looking for $1.2 billion or more in money missing from commodity customers’ accounts.
