MF Global to get $168 million back from JPMorgan
By Nick Brown
NEW YORK (Reuters) - JPMorgan Chase & Co
James Giddens, tasked with winding down the estate and recovering as much money as possible for its trader clients who lost money when the firm went bust, said JPMorgan will return "excess collateral" that was held in its estate when the bankruptcy began.
Giddens said the returned funds will help with get money back to customers, but is separate from ongoing discussions with JPMorgan over potential legal claims from Giddens that the bank could be holding customer money.
MF Global declared bankruptcy on October 31. Commodity traders with personal accounts lost millions of dollars when, according to Giddens, the firm improperly used client money to cover corporate transactions as the firm sank.
Giddens has said customer accounts could be short about $1.6 billion.
JPMorgan has retained a security interest in the returned collateral so it can seek to recover it if certain allegedly secured positions in MF Global's capital structure turn out to be uncollateralized, according to Giddens' statement.
JPMorgan was the lead lender on MF Global's $1.2 billion loan, and was also one of its primary clearing banks. Customer advocates, primarily Commodity Customer Coalition leader James Koutoulas, have expressed suspicion that customer money could be at JPMorgan.
A spokeswoman for the bank declined to comment.
KOUTOULAS DEEMED 'FRIVOLOUS'
Separately on Friday, Koutoulas was rebuked by a judge for filing "frivolous" court papers attacking the mounting fees of Louis Freeh, the trustee unwinding the MF Global parent company.
U.S. Bankruptcy Court Judge Martin Glenn rejected arguments from Koutoulas that Freeh should not be allowed to extend a Friday deadline to file financial data about the company. Koutoulas had argued the postponement would allow Freeh, a former FBI director, to rack up unreasonable fees.
Glenn stopped short of granting a request by Freeh's attorney, Brett Miller, to sanction Koutoulas, but warned he may impose such punishments for future frivolous acts.
"Be fair warned," Glenn told Koutoulas, a fund manager and lawyer who has assumed the de facto role of representing MF Global's former customers.
Miller said Freeh planned to file the bulk of the data that sparked the controversy, which lays out information on MF Global's debts, assets, transactional history and personnel, later on Friday.
Koutoulas' fight began when Freeh estimated this week that professionals in MF Global's bankruptcy have accrued nearly $25 million in fees. Freeh's report did not say how much of that figure was accrued by Freeh and his lawyers.
Freeh, who has not yet submitted formal compensation requests, would be paid from money he ultimately recovers on behalf of the MF estate through litigation and other means.
Freeh separately asked the court to extend by one month a Friday deadline to file financial data about the company's debts, assets, transaction history and personnel.
Koutoulas objected that Freeh, who had been granted five similar extensions in the past, acted in bad faith by drawing out his work while continuing to rake in fees.
In bankruptcy, legal fees are paid before other creditor claims, meaning each dollar Freeh accrues is a dollar taken away from creditors, Koutoulas said.
Glenn, though, said Koutoulas did not back up his "bad faith" claims with evidence that Freeh actually had an impure motive for seeking the extension.
There is also the question of whether customers would be eligible to be paid back from money recovered by Freeh. Money he recovers is designed to pay back creditors of MF Global's parent estate, not customers of its broker-dealer unit.
Koutoulas said after the hearing that his group, the Commodity Customer Coalition, will soon file a motion seeking to convert MF Global's bankruptcy from a Chapter 11 to a more streamlined liquidation, known as Chapter 7. The move, he says, would save the estate money.
In Chapter 7, a bankrupt estate is put in the hands of a trustee whose job is to sell assets as quickly as possible and distribute money to creditors.
Koutoulas said he initially planned to make the request at Friday's hearing but after being called "frivolous," the moment didn't seem right.
"The plan was to get that into today's hearing, but I ended up having to be a little more defensive than I thought," he said.
The case is In re MF Global Holdings Ltd, U.S. Bankruptcy Court, Southern District of New York, No. 11-15059.

DE Shaw, PAG back Haitong's $1.8 billion offer: IFR
HONG KONG (Reuters) - Pan-Asia private equity firm PAG and asset manager DE Shaw & Co Ltd are among 11 cornerstone investors that pledged to buy almost one-third of the up to $1.8 billion Hong Kong offer by Haitong Securities Co Ltd's <600837.SS>, IFR reported on Monday.
The outcome of Haitong's deal will be closely monitored by investors, bankers and a growing list of companies hoping to raise funds in Asia's top IPO destination.
The share sale would the biggest public offering in Asia Pacific so far in 2012 and the largest in Hong Kong since the $1.9 billion New China Life Insurance Co Ltd <601336.SS> <1336.HK> dual listing in the city and Shanghai in December.
PAG, headed by former TPG Capital dealmaker Weijian Shan, agreed to buy $300 million worth of shares in the deal, said IFR, a Thomson Reuters publication, citing two sources with direct knowledge of the plans.
Haitong is offering 1.229 billion new shares at an indicative range of HK$10.48-HK$11.18, IFR added. At the top end of the range, the deal would be worth HK$13.74 billion ($1.77 billion).
Other cornerstone investors include New York-based DE Shaw, Japan's SBI Holdings <8473.T> and Dah Sing Bank <2356.HK>, committing a combined $580 million.
Cornerstones back many Asian listings, committing to buy large, guaranteed stakes and agreeing to a lock-up period during which they will not sell their shares. Anchor investors have fewer restrictions on when they can sell the stock.
Haitong had scrapped a deal in December to raise up to $1.7 billion citing turmoil in global markets.
At the time the company had $222 million in pledges from two cornerstone investors, private equity firm Warburg Pincus LLC
The current offer is set to be launched on Tuesday and priced on Friday, sources said last week.

Texas, Johnson & Johnson heading back to court
By Corrie MacLaggan
AUSTIN, Texas (Reuters) - Representatives of Johnson & Johnson and the state of Texas will head back to court on Tuesday over a $158 million settlement agreement announced in January involving the drug Risperdal, a spokesman for Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott said on Sunday.
"As far as we knew, we had a solid settlement," said Tom Kelley, Abbott's spokesman. "We'll have more information on Tuesday about what has caused (Johnson & Johnson) some concerns."
A spokeswoman for Johnson & Johnson declined to comment about the hearing before state District Judge John Dietz in Austin.
Johnson & Johnson said in January that it would pay $158 million to settle a Texas lawsuit that accused the drugmaker of improperly marketing its Risperdal anti-psychotic drug to state residents on the Medicaid health program for the poor.
The settlement would fully resolve all Risperdal-related claims in Texas, the company said at the time. The agreement -- the largest Medicaid fraud recovery ever in Texas -- was specific to the Lone Star State and did not involve other state or federal Risperdal litigation.
The deal marked the first Risperdal settlement with any U.S. state. It settled claims brought by Texas in 2004 involving alleged Medicaid overpayments during the years 1994 to 2008. The settlement was to be paid to the original plaintiff, his attorneys, the state of Texas and the federal government, which provides Medicaid reimbursements, the company said in January.
Tom Melsheimer, a lawyer for plaintiff Allen Jones, said on Sunday that the hearing on Tuesday is "just to finalize the settlement."
But Jones, a whistleblower on J&J's marketing practices, said the sticking point is that Johnson & Johnson wants to reduce the amount of the settlement that he and his attorneys receive.
Johnson & Johnson "has reneged on the agreement and it's back in court," Jones said. "They are trying to produce a chilling effect on the ability of whistleblowers to come forward."

Tiffany hits back at Swatch with $590 million claim
By Catherine Bosley
ZURICH (Reuters) - Jeweler Tiffany & Co
Tiffany's claim for 542 million Swiss francs in a Dutch arbitration court comes three months after Swatch, the world's largest watchmaker, sued it for lost profits it estimated at 3.8 billion francs ($4.2 billion). The companies ended their deal in September.
In a statement on Monday, Swatch said Tiffany's claim "has no factual or legal basis" and it will contest it "vigorously." Tiffany did not return a request for comment.
The strategic alliance, signed in 2007 and intended to last for 20 years, was meant to boost the development, production and worldwide distribution of Tiffany branded watches, but it never turned into big business for either company.
According to Tiffany's most recent annual report, the deal with Swatch represented less than 1 percent of sales.
Swatch has accused its former partner of systematically trying to block and delay development of the business and not giving the watches, marketed under the Tiffany brand, enough prominence in its stores.
Tiffany in turn has said that Swatch did not honor the terms of the agreement, including providing adequate distribution, and was unwilling to work cooperatively with the U.S.-based group.
Shares in Bienne, Switzerland-based Swatch were flat at 1406 GMT, while Tiffany shares were up 0.8 percent in morning trading in New York.
"The impact of this affair on numbers has not been that relevant, given that the Tiffany relationship was terminated when it was still in its very early stages," analysts at UBS said in a note.

S&P hits back at Italian investigators
By Giulio Piovaccari and Sara Rossi
MILAN (Reuters) - Ratings agency Standard & Poors hit back at Italian prosecutors on Thursday after sources said its offices in Milan were visited by tax police pursuing a probe into the impact of S&P's reports on Italian share prices.
"S&P is surprised and dismayed by these investigations into our independent ratings," S&P said in a statement sent by email. "The claims being made are baseless and entirely without merit, and we will vigorously defend our actions, our reputation and that of our analysts."
A source close to S&P confirmed Italian tax police had carried out the visit but declined further comment.
An investigative source said the move was part of a probe being carried out by prosecutors in the southern Italian town of Trani.
"I only know that it's part of the Trani investigations, but I don't know any more," S&P defence lawyer Giuseppe Fornari said on his way in to the S&P offices.
In August Italian prosecutors seized documents at S&P's offices in Milan following complaints from Italian consumer groups over the impact of its reports about Italy on Milan stock prices.
One of the complaints filed in May last year targeted Standard & Poor's after it threatened to downgrade Italy's credit rating because of its huge public debt.
Prosecutors are investigating whether crimes of market manipulation and illicit use of privileged information were committed when S&P's reports were released in May, June and July 2011, prompting a sell-off of Italian assets.
Earlier this month S&P hit the euro zone with a downgrade of half the countries in the single currency area, including Italy, fuelling long-standing frustration with rating agencies.
A day after the downgrades, a leading political ally of German Chancellor Angela Merkel urged legislation to reduce the reliance of institutional investors on ratings agencies.
Separately on Thursday, sources said tax police had carried out routine checks at S&P's Milan headquarters at the end of November, which had thrown up "interesting" findings, but added that Milan prosecutors had not opened an investigation.

M&S brings comfy knickers and curry back to Paris
By Alexandria Sage and Vicky Buffery
PARIS (Reuters) - The French may scoff at British cooking and fashion, but retailer Marks & Spencer
The veteran British store opened a flagship store on Paris's Champs-Elysees Thursday after a decade's absence from French soil, bringing the taste and feel of the British Isles to a city that sees itself as a world capital of food and fashion.
Britain's biggest clothing retailer, known too for its home goods and upmarket food, sparked howls of protest in 2001 when it shut up shop in France to stem losses in mainland Western Europe and focus on its home turf, leaving British expatriates and anglophile Parisians bereft.
The return to France is part of a new international strategy to open stores and websites in a handful of countries, rather than the scattergun approach of the past. Goods at the Paris store will be priced around 10 percent higher than in Britain, but M&S said they would be competitive for the French market.
"I am impatiently waiting for the reopening," said Karine, a French TV producer and blogger who preferred not to give her last name. "For me, it's a little like Proust and his madeleine."
While underwear is at the top of the list for many a female M&S shopper -- "They're the only ones to do super comfy underwear," said Karine -- food is also a major draw.
Karine's list of remembered favorite foods from the 127-year-old retailer included "crumpets, scones, pies, chutney, Indian food" -- foodstuffs rarely seen elsewhere in France.
Clothes, lingerie and food are the things M&S Chief Executive Marc Bolland said French shoppers were after as they lobbied the retailer to open once more in Paris.
"We don't only want expats," Bolland told reporters during a store walkthrough Wednesday evening. "It's the French who are asking us for scones."
Veronique Turban, another Parisian shopper who spoke to Reuters before the M&S opening, said she had missed the retailer's smoked salmon sandwiches, and expressly cited its trousers made in three different lengths -- long, regular and short -- a true example of British practicality.
"My husband has really short legs, so it's ideal," she said.
The opening came as the Financial Times reported that the head of M&S's clothing and homewares business was in talks to take a senior job at online fashion retailer ASOS
MENSWEAR, FOOD ITEMS LACKING
M&S posted a 10 percent drop in first-half earnings this month as Britons curbed their spending amid a gloomy economic environment.
With British retail in a rut, analysts say expansion abroad makes sense and believe a flagship M&S store on the Champs-Elysees will be a big draw.
Paris newspapers have been abuzz for months over the store's opening on the tree-lined avenue, a grandiose commercial hub that crawls with tourists all year round and where U.S. clothing chain Abercrombie & Fitch
However, some shoppers may be disappointed by the small, 1,400 square meter Paris store, which devotes most its space to fashion and does not run to men's clothing.
Washable cashmere sweaters, classic short black dresses and trendy accessories like faux-fur hats and purses fill two levels, leaving less space for lingerie and food.
The food area, crammed into only about 100 square meters, includes such British stalwarts as multi-flavored crisps, biscuits, white bread, Scotch Eggs and bacon. Sandwiches are prepared and packaged each morning in Britain before being shipped over the Channel, Bolland said.
While salad cream and Christmas puddings are also on offer -- as is M&S's chicken tikka masala portions for 4.99 euros a piece -- the food section size and selection appears to be geared more to busy office workers on the go than true foodies hankering for British cuisine.
A bigger selection in food and clothing will be available after M&S opens three more stores in Paris in larger formats, said Bolland. A store pegged to open in early 2013 near the Eiffel Tower, for example, will be about 4,500 square meters.
M&S is also looking for Paris venues for its Simply Food chain.
A French Marks & Spencer website is already up and running and has received 200,000 visits in five weeks, said Bolland, although he did not reveal how many purchases that included.
"It's a little difficult to introduce food to France, but we're making an effort," said Bolland.

Rating cut puts Spain back on crisis radar
MADRID (Reuters) - Standard & Poor's cut Spain's credit rating Friday, sending the euro briefly lower and underlining the challenges facing Europe's major powers as they meet G20 counterparts over the euro-zone debt crisis.
S&P, whose move mirrored that by fellow ratings agency Fitch last week, cited high unemployment, tightening credit and high private-sector debt among reasons for cutting the nation's long-term rating to AA- from AA.
Spanish 10-year government bond yields rose slightly in response, although they remained almost 60 basis points lower than those of Italy and, at 5.27 percent, some distance from the 7 percent level widely regarded as unsustainable.
"Despite signs of resilience in economic performance during 2011, we see heightened risks to Spain's growth prospects due to high unemployment, tighter financial conditions, the still high level of private sector debt, and the likely economic slowdown in Spain's main trading partners," S&P said.
It also noted the "incomplete state" of labor market reform and the likelihood of further asset deterioration for Spain's banks, and downgraded its forecast for Spanish economic growth in 2012 to about 1 percent, from the 1.5 percent it forecast in February.
High yields on Spanish government bonds point to concerns that it could be the next euro zone economy to require a Greece-style bailout, and despite an unpopular austerity program, doubts remain that Spain will meet its deficit target of 6 percent of GDP this year.
The Financial Times quoted a senior Spanish official as saying that meeting the 6 percent deficit target would be "difficult."
But Spain's Economy Minister Elena Salgado said later on Friday that there would be some margin for maneuver this year thanks about 2 billion euros raised by an auction of wireless frequencies and lower interest payments.
"Interest payments by the central government will be at least 2 billion euros below budget. So the combined effect of the spectrum auction and lower interest payments will mean we have a margin of 0.4 percent (of GDP)" Salgado said.
BETTER PIIGS
S&P announced the downgrade as finance ministers and central bank chiefs from the world's 20 biggest economies were due to meet later Friday in Paris amid pressure to find an urgent and convincing solution to the deepening debt crisis.
Spanish unemployment, at 21 percent, is the highest in the European Union, reflecting a stagnant economy, the collapse of a decade-long housing boom and cuts aimed at taming a public sector deficit that reached 11.1 percent of GDP in 2009.
The decision to shelve multi-billion-euro privatization plans, mainly due to tough market conditions, has meanwhile deprived the state of much needed revenues.
"The market's perception of Spain is that it's in a stronger position (than other debt-laden states) - with a strong defense on bank capitalization in place from the FROB bad bank fund, aggressive government action to control and cut spending and a 70 percent debt/GDP ratio," said Bill Blain, senior director at broker NewEdge Group.
"The biggest problem, but the issue I read least about, is the unresolved crisis between central government making cuts and the reticence of regions to follow," he said.
Salgado said the government will shortly announce its plans to ensure Spain's heavily-indebted regions meet their tough 2011 deficit targets.[nE8E7L700E]
JOB DILEMMA
A botched labor market reform in 2010 did little to alleviate joblessness that is concentrated mainly amongst younger Spaniards, and a new government after November 20 general elections will be under pressure to tackle the issue.
The center-right People's Party is expected to win the election easily and deepen austerity measures but they have shied away from presenting specific policy measures for fear of eroding public support.
Like Fitch, which also now rates Spain at AA-, S&P signaled further possible downgrades for Spain, saying there was still a risk the euro zone's fourth-largest economy could slip into recession next year, with a 0.5 percent contraction.
The euro reached a session low of $1.3723 after the downgrade, but later recovered on reports the European Central Bank was buying Spanish and Italian debt.
Hopes that G20 officials would agree on the outlines of a plan to resolve the debt crisis ahead of a European Union summit on October 23 also buoyed the shared currency, which remained on course for its biggest weekly rally since January.
Spain's blue chip index was little affected by the rating cut.
Finance chiefs from outside the euro zone are expected to speak frankly when they meet their European counterparts at Friday's G20 meeting, given impatience growing over the crisis and its implications for the rest of the world.
Thursday, Fitch cut credit ratings or signaled possible downgrades for several major European banks. It downgraded UBS and Royal Bank of Scotland. It also placed Barclays Bank, BNP Paribas, Credit Suisse, Deutsche Bank and Societe Generale on watch negative.

Amazon pushes Barnes & Noble's back to the wall
By Phil Wahba
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Amazon.com Inc's aggressive pricing on its Kindle devices leaves Barnes & Noble Inc little choice but to match the online retailer and update its own devices, even if that means more damage to the bookstore chain's bottom line.
Amazon introduced its long expected Kindle Fire tablet on Wednesday, as well as a touchscreen device and a cheaper version of its basic Kindle e-reader.
Those items are less expensive than their counterparts in Barnes & Noble's series of Nook devices and have the added benefit of giving consumers access to Amazon's cloud computing and entertainment services.
Barnes & Noble shares closed down 6.8 percent after falling as much as 13.3 percent earlier.
"It hurts them a lot more than it does Apple because they're so reliant on the Nook," said Michael Souers, an analyst with S&P Equity Research, forecasting lower Nook prices. "They need to maintain market share, which means their profitability is going to decline."
Barnes & Noble, which is facing an industry-wide decline in book sales, has gotten some relief from its Nook, launched in 2009 about two years after the first Kindle came on the market.
Last month, Barnes & Noble forecast sales of its Nook devices and e-books would double this year and reach $1.8 billion, or nearly a quarter of its revenue, even as its same-store sales stagnate.
Forrester Research estimates Barnes & Noble has a fifth of the e-book and e-reader market, compared with Amazon's 60 percent.
Barnes & Noble, which forecast a loss for the current fiscal year, suspended its dividend in February to hoard more money to invest in Nook.
It has so far proven a feisty challenger. It got the Nook Color to market a year before Amazon's Fire and a touchscreen version was introduced in May.
The Kindle Fire costs $199, compared with the Nook Color's $249. Amazon also lowered the price on its basic Kindle to $79, including ads. That compares with $139 for the basic Nook.
With the holidays nearing, the pressure is on. The bookseller must also contend with Amazon's ability to bundle its Kindles with other services, such as its cloud music storage and movie streaming, McQuivey said.
"It just means that Barnes & Noble has no time to really rest because on every single product front they have to respond," said Forrester Research analyst James McQuivey. "Barnes & Noble cannot offer all this media experience."
But Janney Capital Markets analyst David Strasser said he expected "a major product refresh" given that Nook Color is a year old now.
"They're going to need faster hardware for sure. The Nook is a reasonably good performing device, but it's certainly not something you'd call quick," Tim Stevens, editor in chief of technology blog Endgadget, told Reuters at the Amazon launch in New York. "And there is no access to a broad Android market like there is here."
Others say the game may still be too early to call.
"We are in the fairly early innings of the e-reader and digital transformation," said Morningtar's Peter Wahlstrom.

AT&T fights back at U.S. challenge of T-Mobile deal
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - AT&T Inc and T-Mobile USA fought back against the Justice Department's challenge to their proposed merger, arguing the deal would "usher in more intense competition."
AT&T and T-Mobile, owned by Deutsche Telekom AG, argued in a federal court filing on Friday that the massive $39 billion deal would free up spectrum and create new capacity for Americans whose mobile devices are transmitting increasingly large amounts of data.
"The Justice Department's complaint fails to come to grips with the significant efficiencies this transaction will generate," the companies said in their filing.
In the brief, AT&T asked the court to allow its purchase of T-Mobile to go forward and to require the Justice Department to pay its costs in the challenge.
The Justice Department filed a lawsuit aimed at stopping the deal last week, saying the acquisition of T-Mobile USA, the No. 4 carrier, by AT&T, the No. 2, would harm competition in the wireless market and lead to higher prices.
The department, in particular, seemed determined to preserve T-Mobile as an innovative, discount carrier that held down wireless prices.
Responding to that concern, AT&T said "T-Mobile is not a unique or material competitive constraint on AT&T."
"T-Mobile has not been a meaningful or unique innovator in terms of network development and deployment, nor is it likely to become one in the foreseeable future," AT&T said in the filing with the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia.
The deal partners took issue with the Justice Department's review of the effect of the merger on a national basis instead of on a local basis. They argued that more than 90 percent of U.S. consumers currently have at least five wireless carriers to choose from in their local markets.
They also disputed the method the Justice Department used to analyze the deal, saying it was too simplistic.
If the merger goes through, AT&T will unseat Verizon Wireless as the No. 1 U.S. mobile carrier. Verizon Wireless is a venture of Verizon Communications Inc and Vodafone Group Plc.
"We continue to believe this transaction as currently proposed is anti-competitive and harmful to consumers," Justice Department Spokesperson Gina Talamona said. "We will respond further in our court filing."
The lawsuit is the biggest antitrust challenge yet by the Obama administration.
The case is the Department of Justice v. AT&T, T-Mobile USA, U.S. District Court, District of Columbia, No. 11-01560.

AT&T vows to bring back 5,000 U.S. jobs if merger approved
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Telecommunications giant AT&T Inc, whose proposed buy of T-Mobile USA is under scrutiny by U.S. regulators, promised to bring 5,000 wireless call-center jobs back to the United States if the deal wins approval.
The company has not decided where in the United States the positions will be located, AT&T said in a statement. The jobs are currently outsourced to other countries. The new U.S. employees will be eligible to join the company's unionized workforce.
AT&T also said the merger will not cause any job losses for U.S.-based wireless call-center employees of T-Mobile USA or AT&T who are on the payroll when the merger closes.
Currently, AT&T and T-Mobile have a combined total of 25,000 U.S.-based wireless call-center employees. The company would not comment on how many employees would remain overseas after the 5,000 jobs move back to the United States.
The Federal Communications Commission and the Justice Department are reviewing the proposed $39 billion purchase by AT&T of smaller rival T-Mobile USA, a unit of Deutsche Telekom AG.
If approved as proposed, the merger would concentrate 80 percent of the U.S. wireless market in AT&T/T-Mobile and Verizon Wireless, a venture of Verizon Communications Inc and Vodafone Group Plc.
AT&T has said the deal would allow it to quickly add capacity to meet growing demand for high-speed wireless service. Rivals such as Sprint Nextel Corp say the combination would hurt competition, while public interest groups have argued it would lead to higher prices.

Law firm strikes back at AT&T over merger
By Terry Baynes
NEW YORK (Reuters) - A New York-based law firm is waging a creative legal battle to block AT&T Inc's
With its "Fight the Merger" campaign, Bursor & Fisher is seeking to stop the mega-deal by inundating AT&T with arbitration claims. The firm, which historically handled consumer class actions against AT&T, maintains the merger would violate federal antitrust law and stifle competition in the wireless market. The firm is using its website to recruit AT&T customers willing to initiate arbitration proceedings.
So far, 750 customers have volunteered, according to Scott Bursor, the firm's founding partner. The firm has sent around 700 notices of dispute to AT&T and 20 arbitration demands, Bursor said.
"Fight the Merger" is a not-so-veiled reference to a class action that AT&T customers lost in the Supreme Court in April. In that case, AT&T Mobility v. Concepcion, customers sued AT&T for allegedly advertising discounted cell phones, but charging sales tax on the full price. The Supreme Court sided with AT&T, ruling that clients who signed phone contracts containing mandatory arbitration clauses waived their right to bring a class action against the company. AT&T could enforce a contractual term that required customers to arbitrate their disputes individually.
Bursor & Fisher decided to try to turn that setback into an advantage for customers.
"If (AT&T) wants to arbitrate on an individual basis, that's what we'll do," Bursor said.
His firm has appointed a network of attorneys across the country to represent every customer willing to challenge the merger before an arbitrator.
"IN THEIR AGREEMENT"
AT&T's customer contract provides that any consumer who prevails in arbitration is entitled to a $10,000 payment. To recruit clients, Bursor & Fisher is promoting the AT&T payment offer on its "Fight the Merger" site, with a suggestion customers will win. The AT&T contract also promises double attorney's fees to successful customers, which explains the firm's willingness to take on the arbitration cases.
In AT&T Mobility v. Concepcion, the carrier emphasized these financial incentives to the Supreme Court to defend the fairness of its contract.
"Now we're going to put that to the test," Bursor said.
AT&T responded in an emailed statement that the Bursor & Fisher's claims are "completely without merit" and that an arbitrator does not have the authority to block the merger currently under review by the Federal Communications Commission and the Department of Justice.
Andrew Gavil, an antitrust law professor at Howard University Law School, said he doubted an arbitrator would have the power to prevent the merger, but it would turn on language in the contract and what types of disputes were committed to arbitration. He said Bursor & Fisher might be trying to strong-arm AT&T into arguing that the arbitration clause does not cover antitrust claims, thereby reopening the door to a traditional class action lawsuit.
AT&T has already argued in a letter to the American Arbitration Association that the arbitration clause was intended for individual billing disputes, not a $39-billion-dollar antitrust case, according to Bursor. But the arbitration clause is broad, covering all "claims arising out of or relating to any aspect of the relationship between us, whether based on contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal theory," according to a copy of the contract posted on the firm's website.
The firm is bringing the arbitration claims under the Clayton Antitrust Act.
Bursor said his firm has no intention of forcing AT&T into a traditional class action lawsuit. He expects AT&T to settle, given the "daunting" prospect of fighting more than 750 arbitrations, any one of which could stop the deal.
"If they didn't want to have individual arbitrations, then they shouldn't have put this clause in their agreement," Bursor said. "AT&T wrote this and we're going to force them to honor it."

Germany S&P head rejects criticism of Greek role
VIENNA (Reuters) - The head of Standard & Poor's in Germany rejected criticism that the ratings agency was being too tough in judging efforts to involve the private sector in Greece's bailout without triggering a sovereign debt default.
"The assertions are completely made up out of thin air and factually wrong. The are either based on ignorance of the facts or are politically motivated comments (that) neglect the facts," Torsten Hinrichs told Austrian radio in an interview aired on Wednesday.
Critics include European Central Bank Governing Council member Ewald Nowotny, who said this week ratings agencies appeared to be applying a double standard in Greece's case.
Asked why S&P had not waited for the final details of a French plan to let investors roll over Greek debt before warning it could trigger a default, Hinrichs said:
"We did not reject the plan per se, but rather commented on how Standard & Poor's would react from today's perspective and from the information that is currently available. It is a purely hypothetical comment because as you correctly say the final plan has not yet been adopted."
The key issue was viewing how investors would be treated in comparison to bonds' original terms for repaying principal and interest, he said.
"It is very clear here that a significant extension of maturities and a delay in repayment are to be expected and that is not in line with the original promise of timely payment of interest and principal and to this extent such a plan would be a default."

S&P warning adds default threat to Greece's bailout
By Angeliki Koutantou
ATHENS (Reuters) - Greece would likely be in default if it follows a debt rollover plan pushed by French banks, S&P warned on Monday, deepening the pain of a bailout that one European official said will cost Athens sovereignty and jobs.
European politicians and bankers had expressed confidence last week that the French proposal would not trigger a default, but ratings agency Standard & Poor's said it would involve losses to debt holders, most likely earning Greece a "selective default" rating.
"It is our view that each of the two financing options described in the (French banks') proposal would likely amount to a default under our criteria," S&P said.
French banks, major holders of Greek sovereign debt, proposed voluntarily renewing some of the bonds when they fall due, but on different terms.
S&P cut Greece's sovereign rating to "CCC" last month, from "B," on a view that any restructuring of the country's massive debt load would count as an effective default.
The euro fell from around $1.4550 to a session low around $1.4510 after the latest S&P comment.
Derivatives industry body ISDA said before the French proposal was released in late June that a voluntary agreement to roll over Greek debt would "typically" not trigger payments on credit default swaps.
Greece was already facing an uphill struggle this week to start the process of selling off state-owned assets and reform its tax system to meet European Union and IMF conditions for bailing it out. The deep spending cuts required under the loan terms have sparked angry protests on the streets of Athens.
Eurogroup Chairman Jean-Claude Juncker said Greece will lose sovereignty and jobs to meet those criteria, a comment that has enraged unions. Any suggestion of foreign intervention in running the country is an incendiary political issue that will make implementing reforms even tougher.
Public-sector union ADEDY, which has launched crippling strikes and protests, reacted angrily to his comments.
ADEDY President Spyros Papaspyros said Juncker was out of line: "Mr Juncker interferes in the internal affairs of a country, provokes European rules and is an embarrassment for the country whose government tolerates him."
Juncker's comments could trigger more of the anti-austerity street protests that have roiled the country for months as Greece stays stuck in its worst recession since the 1970s with a youth unemployment rate of more than 40 percent.
"The sovereignty of Greece will be massively limited," Juncker told Germany's Focus magazine in an interview released on Sunday. Teams of experts from around the euro zone would be heading to Athens, he said.
"One cannot be allowed to insult the Greeks. But one has to help them. They have said they are ready to accept expertise from the euro zone," Juncker said.
EASIER SAID THAN DONE
Greece last week passed austerity measures worth 28 billion euros ($40 billion) and promised to deliver 50 billion euros in sell-off revenues by 2015, including raising 5 billion euros by the end of this year alone. On the list are public utilities whose sale is sure to prompt public reaction.
"Greece now needs to push faster fiscal adjustments and structural reforms," said EFG Eurobank economist Platon Monokroussos. "On the privatization front, it is of essence the government delivers fast results to send a strong signal to financial markets."
That is easier said than done.
The socialist government, which came to power on a social welfare platform, has yet to launch a single state sale in 18 months in power and must set up a privatization agency within weeks to meet its target.
It must also start to sell state property, estimated at up to 300 billion euros but often entangled in legal complications.
"The 50 billion euro target is not achievable," said Constantinos Mihalos, head of the Athens Chamber of Commerce. "Share values are very low right now because of the recession."
At the same time, Greece needs to deliver on pledges to reform a chronically inefficient tax system that has relied too much on middle class salary earners and let wealthy tax evaders off the hook, producing disappointing revenues this year.
Finance Minister Evangelos Venizelos told Reuters in an interview on Friday that Greece would tap for the first time private-sector expertise but tax offices around the country are notoriously resistant to any change.
"A greater effort is needed to rein in tax evasion and broaden the tax base in a bid to bring the ratio of revenues to GDP closer to euro area average and reduce expenditure and waste in the broader public sector," Monokroussos said.
Investors have feared that default by Greece would send shockwaves through the world finance system with some commentators saying such an eventuality could call the whole euro zone into question.
Another hurdle is the law on a uniform pay scale for the public sector, sure to cut further the salaries of civil servants who have already seen their pay reduced by an average 15 percent as a result of a wave of austerity measures to secure the 110-billion-euro bailout last year.
On Saturday, euro zone finance ministers approved a 12 billion euro loan Greece needs to avert default.
The IMF will meet on July 8 to approve the 12-billion euro loan tranche, which is expected to be handed over by July 15 and allow Greece to avoid the immediate threat of debt default.
But the country still needs the second rescue package, which is also expected to total around 110 billion. EU officials will now look at how private creditors can be involved voluntarily so that rating agencies do not declare the rescue a "credit event."
