A former MF Global Inc. broker pleaded guilty to federal commodities act violations after the U.S. accused him of making unauthorized trades that caused the now-defunct futures company to lose more than $141 million.

Evan Brent Dooley, 44, who worked in MF Global’s Memphis, Tennessee, office, entered his plea today before U.S. District Judge Robert M. Dow in Chicago. A federal grand jury indicted Dooley in 2010 over trades he made in 2008.
