Apparently rule of law in this country no longer applies to the 1%. Jon Corzine should have been arrested by now. Where is the outrage from Obama? Where are the criminal indictments from the federal government? Corzine is entitled to the presumption of innocence but the victims of this apparent scheme are entitled to justice. Where [...] Bottom line is that Top 0.1% golden boy and MF Global CEO Jon Corzine appears to have used customer funds to pay off the firm’s losses in bets made with its own money.) Americablog has much more. CME Group Executive Chairman Terry Duffy testified and indicated John Corzine authorized the transfer of consumer funds to the firm’s trading accounts. If witnesses and evidence collaborate Duffy’s testimony, Corzine should face a charge of lying before Congress and other criminal charges. Corzine has friends in high places. Maybe he will be thrown to the [...] His obsession with trading was apparent to MF Global insiders over his 19-month tenure. Mr. Corzine compulsively traded for the firm on his BlackBerry during meetings. This makes his Sgt. Schultz “I know nothing” stance untenable. And really, the CEO shouldn’t be trading during meetings, if at all. Maybe he needs Gamblers Anonymous?

Apparently the feds are no longer capable of counting, as the amount is now estimated at $3 billion. Worse, the trustee says former customers will now get a mere [...] Three weeks after MF Global cratered and nearly $600 million vanished into the ether out of supposedly sacrosanct customer accounts, hundreds of regulators and criminal investigators say they still have no freaking idea what happened or where the money went. Multiple choice test. That $600 million can disappear a) is just one of those things [...] Several days after the bankruptcy, there’s still no word on where the missing money is. Tracking where it went should be straightforward enough for examiners with access to the brokerage account records. Yet it’s anything but that. The $593 million shortfall in client money at MF Global Holdings Ltd., the broker that filed for [...] A commodities trader demands an answer to where the money went.
