They are not likely to get back 100 percent of their money from MF, the broker-dealer led by Jon Corzine that crashed spectacularly last Halloween. That was the message roughly 100 customers walked away with yesterday after their first face-to-face with James Giddens, the trustee responsible for cleaning up Corzine's mess.''
