Imagine your "insured" "protected" "highly regulated" "regularly audited" bank account was suddenly frozen, with a good chance you'd take a 40% haircut if and when the murky powers-that-be unfroze it.
And imagine the bank manager - a name brand fellow with top political ties - was still walking around free.
That is what we're looking at.
“First they came to rob the commodities speculators, but I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a commodities speculator.”
still walking around free.
Makes my blood boil.
Celente had his money stolen too. He was trading gold with a company MF global had bought and didn’t know MF owned.
Not “too big to fail”, but “too connected to get caught”!
That is very much how Celente described it this morning.
It is how I look at the robo-signing the banks did.
Caught but not nailed.
As for the robo-signers, I couldn't agree more. All those clowns deserve quality time, face down in the day room at Leavenworth.
—Not “too big to fail”, but “too connected to get caught”!—
Sounds like the old phrase, “Everyone is equal, but some are more equal than others.”
This country has no ruling class (supposedly) and is governed by laws, not men. If certain parties are not, at the very least, walking around because they’ve made bale, this is a full frontal attack on our government that is of, by and for the people.
Will we stand by and just watch them take us over even when they are this overt? For crying out loud, this happened in front of God and everybody!
bale = bail
But you knew that. :-)
As long as the Trustee does his job, this is what in fact should happen.
SO WHERE IS THE MISSING MF GLOBAL MONIES? Time to connect the dots
<><> Corzine is a well-rounded operator. As Governor, he left the state of NJ $8 billion in debt. $8 billion went missing from one state agency....other agencies like UI and the Transporation Trust Fund went bankrupt with no explanation why. The $82 Billion state pension fund lost about 25%.
<><> Right before Corzio's reelection, Obama sent $17.5 Billion stimulus to NJ---which promptly vanished.
<><> Gov Corzine made several highly suspicious trips to Israel when he had no political reason to be there. Israel is the only place in the world where you can take a suitcase full of money to a bank---and noboody asks where it came from. Isreal also has many businsses in NJ funded with NJ state "grants" as well as an Israeli Chamber of Commerce.
<><> MF Global principal Brad Abelow was Corzine's appointee as NJ Treasury Secy----controlling ALL NJ assets. Gov and Secy started an investment business----but the two "financial geniuses" said did not know this was illegal.
<><> MF Global principal Chris Flowers handled Sen/Gov Corzine's "blind assets" ......Flowers led the taskeover of a Japanerse bank for Corzine----Sen Corzine passed a bill giving the bank a US tax break......said he did not know the bill benefitted him.
<><> Corzine registered three corporations in super-secret financial haven----Delaware----BEFORE taking office.
<><> All three of the above-named MF Global principals were G/S cronies.
<><> Ponzi king Bernie Madoff made a generous contribution to Corzine's campaign.
Let's posit for the moment that Corzine stole the money, and that some, but not all of it, is recovered, and many investors suffered losses.
Corzine faced a criminal trial, is convicted, and sentenced, as it is proven that he directly ordered the funds moved.
Can he be sued personally for the lost $$?..civil suit...or can the feds force him to make restitution in return for leniency?..he's reported to be worth several hundfed million.
Nope, they came for the Chrysler and GM secured bondholders years ago.
I have waited weeks to see someone say this.
Instead of claiming to receive a letter...
...how about crediting the source directly - including the sites of publication.

There are a few “the emperor has no clothes” statements in that email. :-)
