Philadelphia attorney Frank Mayer who was appointed receiver of the now defunct CD brokerage, is requesting permission from the federal court to pay the approximate 200 victims of the scheme, including 120 credit unions, a distribution of $60 million from the remaining funds in the receivership, the biggest ever appointed by the Securities and Exchange Commission.
