The same man who oversaw MF Global’s $1.2 billion in missing funds, Bradley I. Abelow, is also currently listed on the Environmental Protection Agency’s website as the current chairman of the EPA’s Financial Advisory Board.

Mr. Abelow also served as former New Jersey Governor Jon Corzine’s chief of staff before Mr. Corzine went on to become MF Global’s CEO. Interestingly, current EPA Administrator Lisa Smith also previously served as then-Gov. Corzine’s chief of staff. Whether the Corzine connection played any role in Mr. Abelow’s appointment to the chairmanship of the EPA’s Financial Advisory Board is as yet unclear.
Mr. Abelow, who as recently as July 2011 appears to have donated $30,800 in campaign donations to the Democratic National Committee and $5,000 in June to President Barack Obama, said over a dozen times during congressional hearings that he didn’t know how MF Global customers’ funds disappeared under his watch.

Some investigative journalist is missing a big opportunity to expose the corruption in this administration and make a big name for him/herself. Oops - can’t do that - wrong party.
Don't hold you breath. And it isn't that the Republicans are stupid. THEY ARE IN ON IT!
The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
This insanity must stop!~!! Missing 1.2 BILLION and he shrugs.....and he’s in charge of the finances of the EPA, which is in the billions.......wait for the shrug.
From Wikipedia: Annual budget, $10.486 billion (2010). Ever hear of Solyndra? One of several near billion dollar commitments of taxpayer dollars that fall outside of the Agency's budget, but for which taxpayers are on the hook. In other words, before losing $1.2 billion of his clients money mismanaging MF Global, he was losing billions of taxpayers' money.
It's a gift. Who lets you lose billions of other people's money?
