Jon S. Corzine gave "direct instructions" to move $200 million from an MF Global Holdings Ltd. account containing customer funds three days before the securities firm collapsed, according to an employee email reviewed by congressional investigators.

The Oct. 28 email was disclosed in a five-page memo released Friday afternoon by a House Financial Services subcommittee. The panel is investigating what caused an estimated $1.6 billion shortfall in customer funds at MF Global, which collapsed into bankruptcy Oct. 31.

Come on guys,

Corzine is a made man, a plugged in statist totalitarian democrat. You REALLY expect he`s gonna get the Bernie Madoff treatment !?

6 months country club prison, the ones with no fences at the most but likely no prosecution at all.

Edith O'Brien, an assistant treasurer who was among the employees involved in moving money at MF Global, wrote in the email that the $200 million transfer to an MF Global account at J.P. Morgan Chase JPM +1.14% & Co. in London was “Per JC’s [Jon Corzine’s] direct instructions,” according to the memo.

Thanks for the clarification on the “JC”; I was thinking this was one of those scumbag liberal “What would Jesus do” defenses of the indefensible. I'm sure the Socialist “JC” (John Corzine) will simply state that he was “making a joke to Edith”, which she took seriously. I'm sure the liberal POS had no intention of stealing his ignorant customers’ money in order to cover for his own ineptitude, because we all know how out of character it is for liberals to misuse others’ money.

Corzine may be the Summer Blockbuster; otherwise it’ll be the dead 6’ 2” football thug shot dead in Florida (that’s what’s shaping up, it’s the Party of Treason’s alibi for Zero’s incompetence and ineligibility), or perhaps international intervention in Syria, or Iran, or maybe all of these. Thanks Brilliant.

Didn’t Corzine testify to Congress that he didn’t know where all the investors money went?

He could be brought up on some perjury charges, as we see he did know and direct money to be transferred out.

Whether he faces any legal issues is doubtful because he’s a good Democrat.

You seem to be under the misapprehension that the laws apply to the ruling class. Corzine probably knows too much on too many people to ever let this get aired in court.

Couldn't happen to a nicer guy. Corzine has always been a liar and a fraud. As is the liberal sycophant media which abets the crimes. Why isn't OccupyWallStreet hanging out in front of his house?

NYT LIES: Mr. Corzine was in the front passenger seat when his state police vehicle swerved to avoid an apparently out-of-control driver on the Garden State Parkway

The truth comes out a week later ... Trooper speeding revealed ...

He’ll want to hurry and get sentenced so Barack can give him a 19 Jan. pardon along with Blogo....

Nothing's going to happen to Corzine. He's wired. Anything happens to him, and hundreds of other big Democrat donors are going to get nervous about how far their necks are stuck out. Bye-bye big campaign bucks for the upcoming elections.

Never happen.

I know of some baseball players that lied to congress and faced charges for lying under oath....so I don’t see much of a problem in having him appear in front of a Grand Jury. There are fifty different state attorney generals who ought to be just as happy to do the job, if the US Justice Department isn’t capable of doing it.

What are the odds Corzine gets indicted for perjury for his testimony — if I recall correctly — to Congress that he knew nothing about any transfer of client funds?

This puts Corzine next in line to replace Geithner if Obama gets a second term.
