Peter J. Taggares - Wikipedia

In the mid-1970s, Taggares and his competitor, J. R. Simplot, were involved in the largest default in the history of American commodities futures trading.[6] The incident, which led to a fine and temporary suspension from futures trading, nearly destroyed the New York Mercantile Exchange.[1]
