Do the profits go to the investors, or to Mr Corzine? I don’t think you have to ask...

Here’s a guy that was at the center of the Democrat-engineered collapse of the U.S. economy.

He has yet to be held responsible and sent to prison.

Also, politicians cover up for other politicians. After all, if one bigwig pol ends up in jail for corruption, the whole dam may break.

Just think. There are a large number of people out there with more money than brains that will be clawing to invest with him.

well, there is a possible investment logic that says: look at what this guy has gotten away with, he really must have an inside track

Stole over a billion dollars.

Deserves to be hanged a dozen times over.

Instead, he walks the streets a free man, preparing to restart his evil ways.

Oh, you're just still miffed about all that felony commingling* of investor funds.

That's SO yesterday... LOL! :)
