This guy should have to pay restitution to his victims instead of doing jail time. Corzine's gotta be worth at least tens of millions, right? Have him pay back customers and debt and equity holders with his own money.

He should be in jail already for what he did to N.J.
If there is any justice at all, this progressive fat cat will be put where he belongs, behind bars and stripped of all his wealth and dignity!
Just as he has caused so much pain today and into perpetuity for millions of Americans!
He has to be brought to justice!

If it SHOULD come to pass that Corzine ends up doing time, it'll be nice to see SOMEBODY connected to GS in the slammer...even if its a couple of steps removed.

Watch the Political Class in Washington jump to the defense of Corzine, one of their own.

One good thing, it appears MF Global is not too big to fail, That is a good thing.

What did he know and when did he know it.
He should be prosecuted along with all in the firm who knew what was going on and then I hope civil suits go after his personal fortune.

Corzine is all the proof you need that politicians and Wall Street fat cats are Siamese twins.

Like how his lawyer told the judge yesterday that all funds have been accounted for and nothing is out of line. Bastard needs to be sent to Iraq prison to serve his time.

He can always plead temporary insanity. There is no rationale explanation for his stupidity in light of what happened in 2008 and he knew all about it.

And where are our great regulators and oversight bodies? They could not hit a bull on the ass with a banjo.

Regulators and oversight bodies are just for folks like you and me.... if your part of the triumvirate of the public unions, politicians, and financial elite they are there as part of the team!!!
