Joseph Murphy

__NOTOC__ 
Joseph Murphy is a veteran futures industry senior executive. He currently serves as a senior vice president of Ingalls & Snyder, a privately held investment management company in New York.

== Background ==
At R.J. O'Brien, Murphy was responsible for marketing and business development of all business lines, including introducing brokers, commercial agricultural, institutional and RJO Futures.

Murphy joined Refco around the time Thomas Dittmer left Refco in 1999. Murphy's hiring and other management changes were seen by observers as Refco clean up the company's renegade image, particularly after Refco settled a $7 million rule violation case with the CFTC.
During his tenure with Refco, the company acquired Lind-Waldock, MacFutures and LFG.
Murphy left Refco after the "revelation that the company had for years secreted hundreds of millions of dollars of uncollectible receivables with a related entity controlled by Phillip Bennett, the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. This revelation caused the stunning collapse of the Company a mere two months after its August 10, 2005 initial public offering of common stock."
In 2005, Murphy served as chairman of the Futures Industry Association. He stepped down following the bankrupcy of Refco when asked by the Refco board to assume the presidency of Refco and Refco Capital Markets.
In 2006, Murphy was honored as one of The Wall Street 50 by Irish American Magazine.

 Joseph Niciforo, HC Technologies - Profiles in Risk: Vision and Discipline
“If you don’t have disciplined risk management, you’re not going to be in the game.” 
After earning a law degree in 1988, Joe Niciforo turned down a six-figure offer to join a big law firm, opting instead for a salary at 30 percent of that number, to work as a trader for the legendary Paul Tudor Jones II. He would eventually become a partner and managing director at Tudor Investment Corp, but his trading career almost got cut short once when he violated his own risk parameters and ended up taking a big loss. The next day, he received a phone call from Jones, who said, “If you ever lose more than $15,000 for me, we’ll always be friends; we’ll never do business.”
His most recent venture with Tudor, LaunchPad Trading, seeks out and grooms young portfolio managers, who, hopefully, won’t make the same mistakes he did when he was a young, cocky trader.
