Allen Stanford Found Guilty Of Being Not Too Big To Fail; In Other News Jon Corzine Walking Free
In case anyone cares:
- ALLEN STANFORD FOUND GUILTY BY FEDERAL JURY IN HOUSTON - BBG
- ALLEN STANFORD FOUND GUILTY ON 13 OF 14 CHARGES - BBG
- STANFORD CONVICTED IN $7 BILLION INVESTMENT FRAUD SCHEME - BBG
Of course, his real crime was not realizing that if you are going to get busted for ponzinomics, you better make sure everyone goes down with you. In the meantime, rejoice, sheep, for the theater of Ponzi crime and punishment continues. Then again one wonders: why are the perpetrators of the biggest Ponzi of all time, i.e., the central bankers, walking free? Or Jon Corzine for that matter?

Jon Corzine donates money to the right people.
No, he donates to the left.
...and is 'of' the left...
Stanford wasn't smart enough to become an Obama Bundler.
Playya.

Leave Corzine alone!!!
Corzine neds to be mad an example of by someone...I only wish I had the balls to do it...
Ok, I'll get the tar and feathers.
Hang on...there's a knock at the door.
The one memory I will always have about Allen Stanford is when media whore, ass-kissing lickspittle and all-around douche bag Carl Quintanilla asked him what it is like to be a billionaire. The two cocksuckers were laughing joyously. Carl looked so proud that he was being a good CNBC foot solder, licking the balls of one of the financial business' bigger scumbags. Good job, Carl.
I just hope Stanford gets cornholed on a regular basis. His new cellmate should be Turner Brown.

I posted that clip down below
Don't worry he has already been cornholed...
Heh, I must be dislexic. I first read the headline as ...Another Non Jew Corzine walking free.
Licking the balls of Financial Scumbags must be like painting the Golden Gate Bridge ... takes so long that as soon as you finish, it's time to start all over again.
I think we could have a whole new category of jokes here ... instead of "Yo Mamma", "Yo Banksta Ballsack", as in: Yo Banksta Ballsack so big it causes eclipses!
Stanford should have moved his trial to NYC....instead, "a Houston jury found him guilty...." Those Houstonians are not easily bought off by the Ponzi men especially after Enron wiped out ALL their 401(k) savings...
In NYC, fraud is a way of life ir seems.
south of Houston (House-ton, not Heus-ton) residents have also been wiped out.
...and is 'of' the left...

those biding their time until they get to see Corzine donning an orange jumpsuit are likely going to have to settle for Allen Stanford ... orange jumpsuit perp walk in 3.... 2.... 1...
If there not offering anything else up Allen Stanford will suffice....for now

Sorry to all you Jon Stewart haters out there, but after this episode i will be a fan for life.
Corizine's time will come as well
Didn't Stanford take a nice ass-kicking recently? I'm too lazy to look it up or care very much. But I think his face got abused quite badly in jail. Bwahahaha.
Reach up a few lines and click that first link...
Also the thread w it is a howl - residents of Londonstan bemoaning the horrors of American prisons.
Jon Stewart will never skewer Corzine.
I provisionally like Stewart. I think his instincts are good but he doesn't have enough technical knowledge to understand why someone like Corzine is the antichrist. Plus, he's still on a Viacom leash, so he can only go so far with his material...
Isn't Liebowitz's brother a bigshot at the NYSE?
yes
I'm from Jersey and know all about Corzine. can you say honorable? http://www.nytimes.com/2005/08/04/nyregion/04corzine.html?_r=1
Prior to the Honorable Corzine we had a a homo gov. who appointed his gay Israeli national boyfriend to head up homeland security in Jersey ....but couldn't attend the meetings critical to do his job because he was an israeli national...but thats another rant
When i hear "Chicago Politics" i have to laugh
They have since moved on to great careers & earnings...Problem is Corzine will be looking over his shoulder the rest of his life
You have to admit Stewart rocked that episode
Farmers and ranchers all,........And I mean ALL have guns and most are only 3-4 generations from having used them..... My Grandpa is 93 and he has told me that if he wishes he were fit enough to go after some....... that message is creeping to younger and younger people .......Corzine should start wearing a vest
It's not Stewart's job to skewer anybody
Isn't the SEC supposed to do that?
Boo. I want the bastard perp walked.
Stanford was a CIA asset, trust me.
Nice. So we can keep pretending that justice is served?
Real justice comes during market wash outs. Notice all the ponzi schemes (including our very own) that got exposed in '08... once the outgoing outpaced the incoming.
Oooops... Looks like somebody paid their membership fees to the wrong club.
You got that right. This type of verdict is usually reserved for Hindu financiers.
Time to call for some...street justice.
Well, it looks like the crackerjack justice system is ridding the world of Ponzis. Are there any more? Anybody?
BTW, I just LOVE this mug of Sir Allen:
http://articles.businessinsider.com/2011-01-27/wall_street/30068030_1_allen-stanford-judge-david-hittner-ponzi-scheme
That photo is nasty and yet it still brought some warmth to my heart. Doesn't he look a little like Hitler in that photo? And then the judge's name is Hittner. Weird.
You folks just don't understand. Stanford stole money. With Corzine the money 'vaporized'.
"And it's gone......"
but, but....he had no idea, he don't know the detail's, and he was once a seenetaarrr.
A senator, a governor, a Goldman Sachs CEO and an all-around douche bag. I believe that may be a redundancy.
A Senator, a Governor, and a Goldman Sachs co-CEO walked into a bar...
Minions always get sacrificed for their masters. Distraction and more smoke and BS for the sheep to say ..justice served. Yeah right. Many will only say that when the masses dig out their farming equipment for hay. It is bankers season no?

The whales are always safe but the shrimp, not so much.
mainstream media works for the corzines of the world. 99% of americans don't even know who jon corzine is, and that's why he will walk.
Corzine should be tried in Houston. That's where the Enron folks found the way to prison and Ken Lay found the way to Paraguay.
Arrest Corzine and put him up on capital charges. (Surely aggrevated serial rape should count.) Houston judges and juries love to depopulate the pool of rabble. As one comedian said, "Houston no longer uses the electric chair. Now it's the electric couch."
Then Eric Holder can stand trial.
Put him in the same room w Ann Barnhardt. Lock door.
Corzine is far far too close to the president to ever serve one day in jail. If he was tried and was sentenced it would be commuted.
It matters not. Inevitably somebody, with a long reach and a bit of patience will serve their own version of justice on Mr Corzine. Russians, South Americans and Asians were robbed along with farmers and western speculators, at least one of them will seek satisfaction with his own take on vaporisation. If you were Mr Corzine how much would you be spending on personal security? would you be sleeping well? the US justice system will not go after him but he has far bigger worries. He will take the fall.
Corzine: Too Big To Jail...
greenspan on fraud ...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=731G71Sahok
thanks for the link. greenspan said "things were done that were illegal and certainly criminal..." which means he is, ironically, the only bigshot who alleges criminal activity.
Well, you see, Allen Stanford knew where the money is. If he had played dumb, he could have avoided this altogether.
"I simply do not know where the money is"
-Jon Corzine
Stanford is from Texas. According to the rules, that is too far from DC/New York/New Jersey. Kind of like Enron.....
Even the outsider Nixon new not to trust the cowboys.
CNBC lost another guest
not to worry experts like Anne Mathias who was with Stanford before going to MF Global now hangs her shingle at Guggenheim and is featured regularly on the financial entertainment networks
I believe you meant financial comedy networks.
His anus will soon be Too Big To Feel anything inserted within.
You're the expert
Just keep breathing Allen.
Awwwwww.....
Jeff Skilling gets 24 years in Englewood because he played Enron like a Bank even though he had only been a First City banker. he obviously upset the guys on Wall Street for copying their scams. They don't like the Oil Patch ever since Penn Square showed them how the scams were done. Corzine will probably run for President

Got lube?
Apple is too big to fail. The government needs to issue iPads to all employees ASAP
You may be joking, but it's happening all over as governments spend money on iPads in order to pretend to save by becoming "more efficient." In reality though, it's just creating new hoops to jump through and new bottle-necks to get stuck in.
One of the fake efficiency operations I've seen lately is the idea of using your phone to pay for parking at a computerized meter. Sure, it sounds good, as "it will increase revenue" because as we all know, everybody that parks at a meter wants to pay, but gee, they don't have any change. (so goes the rhetoric)
The reality? Worse service. Old meters are duct taped over, so you cannot feed them coins, but instead have to go to a pay station up to half a block away, which is buggy as all get out.
Entropy. take me away!
The kid down the block just got 18 months for joy riding...too bad the boy wasn't smart enough to steal $1.6 Billion.....would not spend a day in the slammer.
2:20 Dow at -147
Its almost ppt time
anyone up for a ramp-up?
1516 New Yawk time and Dow is down -216. (1.68%)
The PPT ain't gonna be able to do it today - it may ramp up a bit, but my stops are in well above entry (TZA) - fuck em all. At 1520 New Yawk, the ramp is trying to start - I'll side bet you they are gonna fall short, and it will ramp down about 1535 to close.
I don't think Stanford did anything seriously wrong. The charges were basically that he misrepresented the "safety" of the investing vehicles. Federal prosecutors in the trial then attacked how not "safe" the investments really were and then did a full court press on character assaults. Of course a Houston jury finds him guilty, they believe anything a prosecutor tells them to believe to pretend to themselves they're "tough on crime and criminals".
Had the Fed let some more money market funds break the buck, you could put many more fund managers up on the same charges as Standford. Just saying, there are no safe investments. Not even gold or silver to the extend that they can be stolen.
Corzine is a different story. They flat stole the money through the semi-legal means of collateral calls to his buddies at other banks before it collapsed.
Free Jon Corzine!

Johhny boy should be shitting his pants.
Meanwhile , Eric Holder was busy giving a speech yesterday in chicago explaining why the President has the right and the duty to kill american citizens whom he believes are a threat without a trial .
I'd move back to Houston if I could be on a jury with Eric Holder as the defendent. He is a terrorist.
That is not an exaggeration.
