I find this amusing (from July):

Bam recruits Corzine
“President Obama is desperately putting his Wall Street stock in an unlikely old buddy.

The beleaguered president has recruited former Goldman Sachs head honcho Jon Corzine to shore up re-election funds from the banking industry, which is furious over Obama’s financial regulations.

Corzine, the former governor of New Jersey who was blasted out of office by Republican Chris Christie in 2009, has attended secret meetings with the president and has been working on Obama’s 2012 campaign for months, The Post has learned.

The Democrat, who now leads Manhattan-based brokerage MF Global, has been tasked with scraping up the very little banking-industry support Obama can still get.”

My link above has additional info from last summer. Which really makes me wonder what the admin, regulators, and ratings agencies knew and when they knew it. And why Corzine felt so comfortable doing what he did.

I think we have a clue where most of the missing money went.
