Robert J. O'Brien Sr.

__NOTOC__ 
Robert J. O'Brien Sr., was chairman emeritus of R.J. O'Brien & Associates and a former chairman of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange. He died on January 9, 2022 at the age of 103.
== Background ==
O’Brien was an active participant in the futures industry for more than five decades. Among many other achievements, he built a very successful futures brokerage firm, served as chairman of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, took delivery of the first live cattle contract traded on the CME, broadcast the first live commodity report from the trading floor, and sponsored the first woman to work on the trading floor. 
A native of Chicago, O'Brien joined John V. McCarthy & Co., the predecessor of R.J. O'Brien, in 1952. He took over the firm from McCarthy, his father-in-law, and grew it into one of the largest FCMs in the industry.
Active in the leadership of the CME during a pivotal time in the history of the exchange, he was a member of the CME board from 1964 through 1977 and served as chairman in 1967 and 1968. During his tenure on the board, contracts on live animals were successfully introduced, the first in a wave of innovations in contract design. 
O’Brien also was instrumental in changing the governance structure at the CME to make it more democratic and revitalizing the audits and investigations department, which helped attract a higher caliber of membership. He also brought the first woman, Sandra Stevens, onto the trading floor in 1966 to assist RJO and its customers. 
Chicago Mayor Richard M. Daley proclaimed October 17, 1989, as "R.J. O'Brien Day" in Chicago.
In 2007, O'Brien was inducted into the Futures Industry Association's Futures Hall of Fame, which was established in 2005 to commemorate outstanding contributions to the global futures and options community.
O'Brien was featured in the video RJO produced to celebrate its 100th anniversary.

Robert L. "Red" Bone

__NOTOC__ 
Robert L. "Red" Bone is a former Arkansas based commodity broker who operated an office in Springdale, Arkansas for Refco, Inc. He had a troubled regulatory history as a broker and was fined and suspended in 1980 by the Chicago Mercantile Exchange from engaging in any brokerage or sales activity for three years.
He became well known as the futures broker that Hillary Clinton used for trading cattle futures in the late 1970s. Bone was a former employee with Tyson Foods. He worked for Tyson between 1960 and 1973 and rose to become the personal bodyguard of Tyson chairman, Donald J. Tyson.
== Background ==
Bone opened a brokerage office in Sprindale, Arkansas under Refco, Inc.'s name and signed an agreement to run it in February of 1977. However, in December of 1977, the Chicago Board of Trade brought disciplinary actions against Bone, which resulted in him being removed from supervisory duties. Bone then became an account executive for Refco, signing a new standard account executive agreement which obligated Bone to guarantee the accounts of his customers.
When the cattle market took a sharp turn down in the fall of 1979, Bone in his personal account and his customers sustained substantial losses, including deficits in their accounts. Bone claimed Refco CEO Thomas Dittmer was responsible for the losses. Bone would enter into a settlement agreement with Refco and execute two promissory notes to cover the loses. Bone was also indemnified by Refco for any losses, costs or expenses because of potential losses brought by customers to recover their losses.
Customers of Bone were reported by the New York Times in 1994 to have lost homes, depleted bank accounts and "frantically sold their high priced toys" as a result of the losses in the cattle trades through Bone. Hillary Clinton avoided the losses by stopping trading before cattle prices collapsed.
Subsequent to the cattle price collapse, the Chicago Mercantile Exchange brought disciplinary action against Bone, which resulted in him being suspended from engaging in brokerage or sales activities for three years. He reportedly continued to run the Springdale, AR sales office until July of 1981 when it was shut down.
In 1981 Bone sued Refco claiming they had breached their 1977 agreement by failing to pay interest on reserve commissions and failing to follow through on a clause to buy feeder cattle for his personal account. Refco filed a counter suit, which resulted in both being awarded over $900,000 by a jury. However, a court later vacated the award to Bone.
