MF Global Under Investigation for Missing Money

Federal regulators have discovered that hundreds of millions of dollars in customer money have gone missing from MF Global in recent days, prompting an investigation into the company's operations as it filed for bankruptcy on Monday, according to several people briefed on the matter.

Now, the investigation threatens to tarnish the reputation of Mr. Corzine, the former New Jersey Governor and Goldman Sachs chief who oversaw MF Global's demise, making it the first American victim of Europe's debt crisis.

Cardinals Win World Series

The St. Louis Cardinals won their 11th World Series title by beating the Texas Rangers, 6-2, in a series that went to all seven games.
After winning Game 6 on a walk-off home run in the 11th inning, the Cardinals made sure Game 7 never got that far by taking the lead in the third inning and extending it in the fifth and seventh innings.
The Rangers jumped out to a quick 2-0 lead, but those would prove to be the only runs they would score Friday night.
