So the Robber Baron does not know where the money is at??? Yeah right.

I would simply say well okay then you will go to prison for the rest of your natural life with no possibility of parole. Moreover, we are going to seize all your assets, including your homes, bank accounts, stocks, cars, boats, 401K, addition retirement money, etc.. in order to retrieve that money.

Now on the other hand if you cough up that money, then you will only go to prison for 10 years. The choice is yours.

How much you want to bet the Feds won't apply the “claw-back” rule to banks or corporations? That stupid rule only applies to individual investors.

Good idea.
I am thinking of becoming a politician so I can steal and get away with it too.

I bet when NJ residents were late/failed to pay taxes, even due to econ hardship, the fmr governor absolutely destroyed them, their property, and any wealth they had - overkill just to “show them who's boss”.

Prediction - corzine will be the next Treasury Secretary when little Timmy gets the boot in January (if 0 wins reelection).

Corzine designed a Ponzi scheme that would make Bernie Madoff proud.

Me, too. I also liked “I didn’t surrender. The took my horse and made him surrender.” Or something like that.

Plus, Josey: “When I get to likin’ people they don’t stay around long.”

Chief: “I notice when get to dislikin’ someone they don’t stay around long either.”

It’s quite informative to compare the MSM reporting of MF Global (run by Baraqqi Coalition member Corzine) and other similar incidents like Enron.

Remind me again, how much was it that Obama said he had to spend in the upcoming campaign?

wasn't there $20 billion sent to Russia several years ago that also just "vaporized"?.....

we taxpayers are such fools....

never again should we ever disparage the garbage men, the street cleaners, the plumbers, the construction workers, the hairdressers, and the cleaning maids......at least we peasants actually WORK honestly for our money....

if only the rest of us would learn to be dishonest bankers....

Come on, all they did was means test their clients.
