    MF Global missing 600 million dollars....
    And people wonder why everyone hates fukking Wall Street.

    And oh yeah, Jon Corzine is a criminal. This shady prick should be locked up.

    From the Journal:

    The investigation into hundreds of millions of dollars in missing money at MF Global has widened, as the CME Group confirmed on Tuesday that the brokerage firm failed to keep customer money separate from company money.
    The serious blunder by MF Global, a commodities powerhouse run by Jon S. Corzine, the former New Jersey governor, violated crucial Wall Street regulations, CME’s chief executive said.

    CME, the giant exchange where MF Global did business until Monday, said it was investigating the missing money, joining federal regulators like the Commodity Futures Trading Commission. Using special permission from regulators, CME was planning to take the unusual step of transferring MF Global’s customer positions without returning all the collateral the customers originally posted, according to a person briefed on the matter.

    That hasn't been proven to be an entirely accurate statement.Private money may have not been segregated well and thus in violation of regs but it doesn't mean that money was stolen. But yes Corzine is a shady fukk and some people were actually wanting him to be the Treasury Secretary.

        Exactly Jar----remember those drumming up support for him to be TS? Unbelieveable.

        And you're right----the money isn't stolen, it has just been lumped in with company money---but that alone is crazy, and should get MFG booted off the floor. Corzine is just a creepy guy.

          the only reason what this company did is a crime is because there are so many regulations making so many things illegal

          If there were no regulations on Wall Street, then there would be no crimes

          eliminate regulations and you eliminate crime

          thats just common sense
