If Corzine weren’t a member of the ruling class, he’d already be in prison.

Only $1.6 billion in customer funds went missing. Is that enough to make it a serious enough matter for criminal investigation?

Only if it’s a Republican.
Then it merits the death penalty.

The evidence seems rather shaky. I predict a long, complicated trial ending in a ‘not liable’ verdict.

The penalties will probably amount to less than 1% of his net worth and he will dodge criminal charges. That’s Obama and Holder’s Justice for you. THIS IS A POLITICAL CHARADE.

Membership has its privileges.

What took so long? Of course criminal charges will never be filed under this current regime.

I predict a settlement.

must have been a lot of evidence to dispose of. And witnesses?

Either that or he pissed of Christie and Obama's teaching him a lesson.

The government has said they’re not going to settle this one.

I can’t believe how he got away with what he did so easily. If I was one of the people serving time in prison for doing exactly what he did I would do anything I could to raise hades about this injustice.

The government said it would not settle prior to the commencement of the civil action. Once it is filed, some discovery proceeds and motions made, it ultimately will be settled prior to trial. You can take that prediction to the bank!

He may spend quite a bit in defense fees, but in the end he will once again be a free man.
