Let Wall Street Pay for Wall Street's Bailout Act of 2009

The "Let Wall Street Pay for Wall Street's Bailout Act of 2009" was a bill proposed in 2009 by Rep. Peter Anthony DeFazio, D-Ore. 
Its aim was to amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to impose a tax on certain securities transactions - including stocks, options and futures - to the extent required to recoup the net cost of the Troubled Asset Relief Program.
The measure did not specifically set a tax rate, calling on the Treasury secretary to do that. But it suggested 0.25 percent would do. The bill had seven co-sponsors, all Democrats. 
In an open letter, the Security Traders Association (STA), an advocacy and education organization for professional equity traders in the U.S., stated strong opposition to the bill. The STA stated that the bill was based on erroneous premises and misstatements of fact and could lead to serious disruptions in the capital markets at a time of national crisis.

Leucadia National Corporation

Leucadia National Corporation is a holding company that through its subsidiaries engages in sectors including telecommunications, mining and drilling services and healthcare services. 
The company is known in the investment community as a "mini Berkshire Hathaway" because of its wide range of holdings. Leucadia has an average annual return of over 22 percent. In 2012, Leucadia bought Jefferies Group, one of the largest U.S. investment banks, in a deal valued at about $3.6 billion.
== History ==
Although the roots of Leucadia National stretch back to 1854, Leucadia began to grow through acquisitions in 1980, and from that year forward purchased companies that increased its financial magnitude. 
Through the course of the company's growth during the 1980s, it became heavily involved in the insurance business, specifically commercial and personal property and casualty insurance, as well as health and life insurance. In addition to these businesses, Leucadia National also owned significant interests in banking and lending, trading stamps, bathroom vanities manufacturing, and motivational services.
== Deal With Jefferies ==
At the time the sale of Jefferies to Leucadia was announced in 2012, Leucadia had already owned 28.6 percent of Jefferies. After the deal closed, Jefferies shareholders would own 35.3 percent of the combined company.
The deal would give Jefferies a deep-pocketed owner as it continued to build out a full-service investment bank. The firm had sought to raise its profile in businesses like merger advising, in part to counterbalance its core business of trading stocks and bonds.

Leverage

The use of borrowed funds along with owned funds for investment is called leverage. The ratio of borrowed funds to own funds (or debt to equity) is called the leverage ratio. Leverage involves the use of various financial instruments, including options and futures.
Leverage also refers to the amount of debt used to finance a firm's assets. A firm with significantly more debt than equity is considered to be highly leveraged. Companies use debt to finance their operations. This increases their leverage because it enables them to invest in business operations without increasing equity.
Portfolios, however, become riskier with leverage. With too much leverage, a market downturn can wipe out all of the equity and leave the investor with more debt than assets.

He traded S&P 500 futures, Eurodollar futures and other contracts as a member of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) starting in 1982. He is the co-founder and director of business development of DefendEdge, a cybersecurity firm.
== Background ==
In the mid-eighties, Borsellino claims to have been responsible for 10 percent of a day's volume in the Standard & Poor's 500 pit and to have accumulated more fines for physical incidents than any other floor member at the CME.
In 2005, NFA's Business Conduct Committee found that during 2001 to 2003 Borsellino disavowed multiple CME S&P 500 Stock Price Index futures trades, resulting in arbitration claims filed against him. Further, the panel found he refused to participate in the arbitration process in good faith. He was fined $50,000 and forced to sell his exchange membership.
Borsellino is the author of The Day Trader: From the Pit to the PC and The Day Trader's Course: Low-Risk, High-Profit Strategies for Trading Stocks and Futures, both published by by John Wiley & Sons in 2001.
After his trading career, Borsellino invested in nursing homes and served as the CEO of Prism Healthcare Group. However, the company experienced financial difficulties and filed bankruptcy for some of the facilities it owned.
==Chicago Trading & Arbitrage, LLC Lawsuit==
In 1996, Borsellino formed a company called Chicago Trading & Arbitrage, LLC with former New York Stock Exchange president and Archipelago Holdings founder Gerald Putnam and two software developers, Stuart Townsend and MarrGwen Townsend. The goal was to provide electronic trading to individual day traders. In 1998, Borsellino alleged Putnam and the Townsends tricked him into selling his stake in the company for $250,000, a fraction of its value.
Borsellino sued in 2000, seeking as much as $100 million in damages. In November 2009, Putnam and the Townsends were ordered to pay $11 million to Borsellino.
In December 2011, an Illinois appellate panel overturned the jury's award, ruling that Lewis Borsellino agreed to release the defendants from liability in exchange for $250,000.
== Education ==
Borsellino earned a bachelor's degree from DePauw University.
