#8  FRAUD @ MF Global?

#7  MF Global was leveraged almost 40 to 1.
Most exposure was in Europe. Others may soon fall. Talk about GE now is circulating. I remember reading something like $127 billion exposure.Better start selling stuff because this is an election year. Business always is down in an election year.The O connection is everywhere.

#4  Corzine was governor of the failed state of NJ, former CEO of Goldman Sachs which was bailed out, and headed up the failed MF Global Holdings. He is now being considered to replace Tim "No Tax" Geithner? I'd be willing to fail for a lot less.

#2  Corzine is walking away with a cool $12 million. I'd been willing to destroy the company for only $6 million.

#1  And Mr. Goldman Sachs is supposedly receiving 12.1 million dollars for the privilege of destroying his company and who knows who else. It is obscene that we routinely let these doofuses walk away with this money.

Does anyone remember when Wall Street gamblers used to actually lose money when they gambled instead of becoming enriched? A great racket if you can get in on it. Sucks for everyone else.
