Corzine Corzined - Congressional Panel Finds Former MF Global CEO Ordered JPM Fund Transfer
The only thing that could top today's epic market insanity and hilarity, would be that Corzine is himself about to be Corzined. Just released from Bloomberg:
- MF GLOBAL'S CORZINE ORDERED FUNDS MOVED TO JPMORGAN, MEMO SAYS
- CORZINE'S `DIRECT INSTRUCTIONS' CITED BY CONGRESSIONAL PANEL
- MF GLOBAL TRANSFER WAS USED TO COVER OVERDRAFT, PANEL SAYS
- MF GLOBAL FINDINGS CITED IN MEMO OBTAINED BY BLOOMBERG NEWS
And so we can now add perjury to felony embezzlement. Which means we now have to wait to find just which MF'er (and JPM'er) will be given a promise of untold millions if they only get Fab Tourre'd for a few years, and spend 5-7 in minimum security state prison instead of brave Jonny.
From Bloomberg:
Jon S. Corzine, MF Global Holding Ltd.’s chief executive officer, gave “direct instructions” to transfer $200 million from a customer fund account to meet an overdraft in one of the brokerage’s JPMorgan Chase & Co.
accounts in London, according to an e-mail sent by a firm executive.
Edith O’Brien, a treasurer for the firm, said in an e-mail sent the afternoon of Oct. 28, three days before the company collapsed, that the transfer of the funds was “Per JC’s direct instructions,” according to a copy of a memo drafted by congressional investigators and obtained by Bloomberg News.
O’Brien’s internal e-mail came as the New York-based broker found intraday credit lines limited by JPMorgan, the firm’s clearing bank as well as one of its custodian banks for segregated customer funds, according to the memo, which was prepared for a March 28 House Financial Services subcommittee hearing on the firm’s collapse. O’Brien is scheduled to testify after being subpoenaed this week.
“Over the course of that week, MF Global’s financial position deteriorated, but the firm represented to its regulators and self-regulatory organizations that its customers’segregated funds were safe,” said the memo, written by Financial Services Committee staff and sent to lawmakers.
Vinay Mahajan, global treasurer of MF Global Holdings, wrote an e-mail on Oct. 28 that said JPMorgan was “holding up vital business in the U.S. as a result” of the overdrawn account, which had to be “fully funded ASAP,” according to the memo.
O’Brien Letter
Barry Zubrow, JPMorgan’s chief risk officer, called Corzine to seek assurances that the funds belonged to MF Global and not customers. JPMorgan drafted a letter to be signed by O’Brien to ensure that MF Global was complying with rules requiring customers’ collateral to be segregated. The letter was never returned to JPMorgan, the memo said.
The money transferred came from a segregated customer account, according to congressional investigators. Segregated accounts can include customer money and excess company funds.
Corzine testified that he never intended a misuse of customer funds at MF Global, and that he doesn’t know where client funds went.
“I did not instruct anyone to lend customer funds to anyone,” Corzine told lawmakers in December.
Steven Goldberg, a spokesman for Corzine, declined immediate comment.
Oops. Of course, in Jonny's defense there was no perjury here. The truth was merely rehypothecated.
Full memo below. And for those who say it is not a smoking gun, read last paragraph on page 4 and first paragraph on page 5. It appears the administration has turned on "JC"

Prison? Possibly, but that is not the norm for capitalist/corporatist insiders.
It is wise to remember the order of priorities embedded in American-style crony capitalism:
1-FIRE profit
2-whatever the military industrial complex wants
3-low wages benefits for working class
4-high debt for working class
And better yet...
"In spite of the Explosion in Financial Fraud from the mid 2000's, continuing unabated to this day, the number of Criminal Financial Institution Fraud Prosecutions under the Obama Administration is the lowest in 20 years."....
If you remember the story of Animal Farm; the pigs exploit the other animals shamelessly, breaking all the rules that they had established after the Rebellion. And so it goes.
Back in the day Jerry "Kill the pigs" Rubin's good friend Abbie Hoffman would say: "Steal This Country!"
More recently President Obama's Good Friend Jeremiah Wright might say God Damn these criminals. His other "Good Buddy" Bill Ayers might say: These are criminals at large; taunting the public who will hunt them down like the dogs that they are...

Does this mean he'll have to use his other Get Out Of Jail Free card too?
No worries, they print those up all day long for themselves.
Send in the clowns
"It's the Aristocrates!!"
Nice
So where are the pitchforks?
Tucked away in a pile of psychotropic drugs, social networks and bad TeeVee.
That's crazy talk!
Do you know what a pitchfork would do to a basketball? And, you can't shoot a puck with a pitchfork.
Silly Mongo.
Sheeple only get upset/interested about the death of celebrities, "wrongful" shooting deaths, or murdered kids. None of these types of death are involved in stealing of money, so no masses with pitchforks.
Why is he still a free man?
Why is Obama still Prez?
Why is SNooki pregnant and why do people tune into her TV show? Same answer all around. I see dumb people.
Because Newt couldn't keep his sausage in his pocket.
Why is the sky blue, why are boobs cool....it just is.
Well, the choice was between him and a guy who sang "Bomb bomb bomb Iran".
Not that it really matters. The real election is decided during the primaries.
Who is John Galt?
Madoff will have a cell mate.
More like Mozillo will have a drinking buddy in the Caymans.
I wonder, fake suicide or "heart attack" this time?
Maybe he'll share a bungalow with Ken Lay?
Some kind of rare cancer, special treatments available only in France -- and then he's just gone.
It's more likely that Jon and Ken will be sharing a bottle of Armand de Brignac to celebrate their retirement.
Well he better be a good chess player. My sources have informed me that the battles between Raj and Bernie have been truly epic. Apparently "chess boards have been breaking out all over" in the Big House lately because of it!
Hey Tyler! can you please find a picture of POTUS and Corzine and throw it up with this? Perhaps one with Dimon too? I think that picture, should it exist, would sum up everything.
I think a picture of the deer with the title "Vaporized Bitchez", would be more appropriate.
This guy should be doing 20 years for that shit.
He'll do 2 years in a minimum security Club Med with care packages biweekly from Obama.
I predict a 10 million dollar fine with no admission of wrong doing.
To be paid out of the bankruptcy funds of course, since Jon was doing the lord's work.
Exactly.
And btw, what about the other 1.4 billion? Details, details.
Actually he should plead guilty now and get sentenced. This needs to be done before Obama loses this upcoming election.
As one of his last acts as President he can pardon his sentence and set him free... Nothing anyone could do about it either.
Yeah ... and why is this convenient white-louse convention/tradition permitted in those circumstances, anyway?
Is that not implicitly corrupting and unjust?
I see smoke rising out of WBanzai's hut...I think we should see what he gin's up. :)
Oh for God's sake....seriously? I'm going to be wearing my rally hat all weekend long...as surely, escalating rabbit hole activity is the mostest uber bullish thing possible. I know, close the market...and watch it soar!
As for Corzine, that anyone is still confused about his culpability is...well...probably a Wall Street banker.
I knew this avatar would pay off eventually. Always bet with the fraudsters. This means YOU, Corzine.
...and people are still going to vote Rosemary's Baby
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xm3VMrKqJSA
So what, he's too well connected.
Those aren't the dollars you're looking for.
Whoooops..... Bummer dude- your kids are gonna have to give another press conference, and beg for your mercy......
Lying sack of shit......
Worked well for Blago.... or did it?
I won't feel vindicated until I see the Bernank, the Blankfein and the Dimon in shackles.
...and B. Masters in stirrups!!
i'd prefer to see them in palestine.
Don't worry - BO will hold a presser to demand accountability. You know, similar to the Zimmerman 'campaign op' in Fla.?
Ahhh, ummm...I'm an old oil man from way back!
I ahhh errr think we need to investigate Trayvon's killing ahhh, ummm ahhh to see if there's any connection with the shooters gun and ahhh ummm Fast & Furious! It's my understanding he's ahhh errr Hispanic.
No...ahhh...the Castle Law is what we need to...errr ahhh...no, the Stand Your Ground Law...yeah, that's it.
Ahhh...everyone needs to settle down and eat your peas!
I can't wait for the next round of Gerald Celente guest spots.
But he was an official 'Obama Bundler,' raising as much cash for Obama in 2008 as just about individual.
He's also the former CEO of Goldman Sachs, that ethical, magnanimous institution of unimpeachable morality.
Certainly a Presidential Pardon wouldn't be an impossibility, on the assumption that Obama wins re-election, no?
Obama could just claim that speculators confused Corzine, and that he knew not what he did broke with protocol or law.

He only stole money from innocent customers and lied to Congress. He didn't even commit treason. Where's the outrage? /sarc off
"Proclamation 6518
Grant of Executive Clemency
December 24, 1992
By the President of the United States of America
A Proclamation
Today I am exercising my power under the Constitution to pardon former Secretary of Defense Caspar Weinberger and others for their conduct related to the Iran-Contra affair.
For more than 6 years now, the American people have invested enormous resources into what has become the most thoroughly investigated matter of its kind in our history. During that time, the last American hostage has come home to freedom, worldwide terrorism has declined, the people of Nicaragua have elected a democratic government, and the Cold War has ended in victory for the American people and the cause of freedom we championed.
In the mid 1980's, however, the outcome of these struggles was far from clear. Some of the best and most dedicated of our countrymen were called upon to step forward. Secretary Weinberger was among the foremost.
Caspar Weinberger is a true American patriot. He has rendered long and extraordinary service to our country. He served for 4 years in the Army during World War II where his bravery earned him a Bronze Star. He gave up a lucrative career in private life to accept a series of public positions in the late 1960's and 1970's, including Chairman of the Federal Trade Commission, Director of the Office of Management and Budget, and Secretary of Health, Education, and Welfare. Caspar Weinberger served in all these positions with distinction and was admired as a public servant above reproach.
He saved his best for last. As Secretary of Defense throughout most of the Reagan Presidency, Caspar Weinberger was one of the principal architects of the downfall of the Berlin Wall and the Soviet Union. He directed the military renaissance in this country that led to the breakup of the communist bloc and a new birth of freedom and democracy. Upon his resignation in 1987, Caspar Weinberger was awarded the highest civilian medal our Nation can bestow on one of its citizens, the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
Secretary Weinberger's legacy will endure beyond the ending of the Cold War. The military readiness of this Nation that he in large measure created could not have been better displayed than it was 2 years ago in the Persian Gulf and today in Somalia."
http://jurist.law.pitt.edu/pardonsex5.htm
Ok I'll bite...Weinberger wasn't convicted of anything, let alone treason.
More germane to this thread would be Marc Rich and Eric Holder.
Again ;-)
I wouldn't argue with you concerning Rich and Holder and the lack of justice, although Rich wasn't going to jail in any case. How many billionaires do you know of that have gone to jail?
Weinberger didn't even have to go through the inconvenience of a trial. Bush pardoned him even before the prosecutors could get to that.
"Independent Counsel's Statement on the Pardons
By REUTERS
Following is a statement by the independent counsel, Lawrence E. Walsh, regarding pardons granted today by President Bush.
President Bush's pardon of Caspar Weinberger and other Iran-contra defendants undermines the principle that no man is above the law. It demonstrates that powerful people with powerful allies can commit serious crimes in high office -- deliberately abusing the public trust without consequence.
Weinberger, who faced four felony charges, deserved to be tried by a jury of citizens. Although it is the President's prerogative to grant pardons, it is every American's right that the criminal justice system be administered fairly, regardless of a person's rank and connections.
The Iran-contra cover-up, which has continued for more than six years, has now been completed with the pardon of Caspar Weinberger. We will make a full report on our findings to Congress and the public describing the details and extent of this cover-up.
Weinberger's early and deliberate decision to conceal and withhold extensive contemporaneous notes of the Iran-contra matter radically altered the official investigations and possibly forestalled timely impeachment proceedings against President Reagan and other officials. Weinberger's notes contain evidence of a conspiracy among the highest-ranking Reagan Administration officials to lie to Congress and the American public. Because the notes were withheld from investigators for years, many of the leads were impossible to follow, key witnesses had purportedly forgotten what was said and done, and statutes of limitation had expired.
Weinberger's concealment of notes is part of a disturbing pattern of deception and obstruction that permeated the highest levels of the Reagan and Bush Administrations. This office was informed only within the past two weeks, on December 11, 1992, that President Bush had failed to produce to investigators his own highly relevant contemporaneous notes, despite repeated requests for such documents. The production of these notes is still ongoing and will lead to appropriate action. In light of President Bush's own misconduct, we are gravely concerned about his decision to pardon others who lied to Congress and obstructed official investigations."
Well, I guess my beef was the comparison of government officials soley and private individuals with influence on government officials.
"Weinberger didn't even have to go through the inconvenience of a trial. Bush pardoned him even before the prosecutors could get to that."
It was the same with private individual Rich of course. No trial, no conviction. And he did trade with Iran while US hostages were being held by them.
But yes, every fiber of my body says Corzine will hop on his private jet to Vanuatu or the Maldives or...stay right here till the December pardon ;-)
"He only stole money from innocent customers and lied to Congress."
Are you implying that's illegal now on Wall Street?
TruthInSunshine asked:
It would just involve a simple change of title, from Obama Bundler to Obama Fluffer.
I think his cell mate should be Elmo Blatch.

"him and that tasty bitch he? was with"
eh eh hah ah hahahahahah!
I don't know why that made me laugh so hard!
I mean, scary.
I just shot beer out of my nose from laughing so hard you sick fucker! LOL
That's all heresay. Unless they have a video tape of him signing a piece of paper and clearing stating orally that he wants the funds transfered to JPMorgan, he will walk away free. An email of a guy saying that Corzine told him something means nothing. Its only guilt until proven innocent if you are poor.
That's what I was thinking. Is this just more cover-up in the form of a sloppy, perhaps easily refutable attack?
lmao today's a fun day haha
The word 'surreal' used to be pretty overused so I shy away from it. That said, I don't know how else to describe today. Bring in the clowns...
These days make a Salvador Dali paintings look like normal nature landscape paintings.
"JC" in the can, I believe it when I see it! He will walk away unharmed! The little shits will get it!
It's all a misunderstanding on his part...he had no idea what he was doing.
He can plead insanity and then proceed to speak in tongues.

How about we leave that worthless Cohen out of this discussion? Better yet, leave him and his hate-mongering in the form of comedy out of everything.

I wonder if his spoiled kids will write another love letter on how great their father is. Will they they even show up to the hearings?
Trust me, if his spawn thought they could make more money finking on daddy they would be singin like a caged canary.
"Corzined," "muppetized," the 2012 vocabulary just keeps getting better. Looks like some populist pandering going on into the elections, first Keystone flip flop now this. Even if he gets convicted he'll be pardoned eventually.
Mupt; same as "Schtup" or "Shtup"[Yiddish] Schtup; to have or be "intercoursed" (coloquial; to be "schtupt"[ed] by hand puppet)
Technically "Corzined" is 2011. However, it may be years before it reaches the general public, if ever at all.
"Corzine-holed" (ask a former MF Global customer for the proper definition)
A little end around delay by Holder, maybe a presidential pardon and voila! Corzine will never ever see a day in jail.
He'll never even see the inside of a courtroom that isn't filled to the brim with Kangaroos, let alone be coherently prosecuted.
No one sees it coming -- NATIONAL SECURITY GETS HIM OFF!
Come on Corzine land The Dimon in it, let's make this a fuckin' riot.
They are both Dem's. Neither one will get into any trouble over this.
I'm not so sure, they're getting desperate at the "top" and they need to make sacrafices, its every man for himself now
exaclty I hope so
Need....more....time....to....accumulate....phyz
Global Hunter said:
He who squeals best might not have to squeal worst.
Friday afternoon dump We must stay on top of this and get JPM to return the Loot Then we get MF hierarchy in jail. then we look into getting the JPM hierarchy in jail.
Either way, it might be time to short the banks.
So, will a warrant be issued or will we continue to allow this crook to run the streets? Anybody got the scoop if FBI is working on an arrest warrant?
That implies justice, so NO FUCKING WAY -- NOT AT ALL -- NADA.
Why? Because he's an ex politician, and rich. You will see the power of his fortune and incorporation keep him away from all matters of so-called "enforcement."
Maybe thats why there will be a revolution.
When people have nothing to loose and are baying for blood Obummer and his handlers will face the music.
Well you see, this will all come down to what the definition of "is" is.
Halarity to resume. Maybe we get lucky and corzine is "dissappeared".
Fuckin A.
I think hell just froze over.
If not it's getting damn cool.
No, hell was just seasonally adjusted. To be revised to frozen next month.
Ha Fucking Ha! Seems like I remember someone writing about "reckless allegations and assertions" not to long ago in Vanity Fair....hmmmm, who was that...oh yes, I remember it was the Corzine family. I hope they throw this bum under the jail.
JC? J C ? And you connect this with Mr. Corzine? What are you stupid or something? I was referring to Jesus Christ you morons. We take our orders from the big guy.
Signed, Edith. xoxo
Give it up bitches. Eric Holder too busy busting white balls for supposed race crimes to be bothered with shit like this. Oh, that and running guns. Only a few million angry people showing up at his office can change his mind.
Don Calzone has the DOJ and SEC investigators in his pocket like so many nickels and dimes
Will Corzine spill any beans on others? Thats what I want to know.
from a Dilbert cartoon:
Prospectus: The Latin word for "Close your eyes and open your mouth."
so they found where .2b went....what about the other 1.4b??
this has bush crime syndicate written all over it....corzine walks...
surely you mean the obama crime syndicate ? Corzine will go to jail....remember Kenny Boy Lay?
Bush? W was an idiot, but thats pathologically insane. What a freaking dolt.
Guess where BO started his fundraising for his campaign last yer? Yep, Corzine's house...
http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0411/52618.html
Let me guess- its W's fault that BO raised money there?
Why are you trying to create a division where one doesn't exist?
Both "sides" are fully owned by Wall St., and the "Bush crime family" goes all the way back to W's grandpa, Prescott. If you think they are no longer involved just because the new guy looks different, well...
you might want to take the hook out of your mouth.
+1. Totally agree. BO=GWB=banks
Don't forget W's maternal line.
People need to start pounding Oblahma on his campaign with the question. Will you pardon Corzine? Make him say it.
BUT what will be done about it? A slap on the wrist... i.e. next to nothing. Watch. It's the Den of thieves after-all.
...meanwhile driving across a white line at a crosswalk lands everyone else in the klink.
Justice abortions for the rich!

Corzine will be given immunity to testify against that scumbag lowly clerk at MF who completed the wire transfer as ordered!
Please please let this take down that smug fuck Dimon. i have never wished ill on a human being until the past 3 years.
Unfortunately not a lot to do with Dimon. He is merely a counterparty with a first claim by law.
You are merely a counter party to your bank. With a claim on your deposit. By the way not a first in line claim. First in line claim is for the folks on the other side of the trade. Banks/Brokers blow up, trade settles, counterparty gets paid, and you get what is left over. In instance of FDIC insured insitution you get made whole up to $250k. Other than that you are shit out of luck. Such is the USA banking system, post Glass-Stegall.
Wonder why confidence in system is soooo high?
slewie is confident enuf for both of us, Li_z!
If you remember :
http://thepoliticalcoffeehouse.com/2011/12/15/jon-corzine-threated-with-...
Jon Corzine Threatened With Death By Jamie DimonSo of course Corzine broke the law to pay Dimon.
So we've got death threats on paper, embezzlement, and perjury clear-cut on record between 2 of the top execs in the biggest banks in the country...if that was me of course I'd already be in prison, lets see what happens to these guys.
...but I would bust you out, Dog!
At some point here (should have been done already) we're going to have to say 'Fuck it, we're going in with ropes and hang these cocksuckers'!
Cue applause...
The corruption is wildly "in your face" these days. It does make a guy wonder what will ultimately stop this madness. My guess is...it will ultimately be the bond market that settles it all...once Ben Bernanke is out of the way.
It is almost a corruption contest between the criminal syndicate known as Wall Street and DC. It is hard to pick a winner there.
Where's the proof, or even the plausible explanation as to how Max came into this knowledge?
Seems a lot more like fiction to me.
wow I missed that. Well if its true if Corzine goes becomes a rat and goes into witness protection that could cause a few sleepless nights on wall street.
Without his political connections Corzine would simply be called a compulsive gambler and/or serial liar.
NO he would be called a common criminal.
I'd prefer him being called sugar lips by his cellmates.
True, I was talking aside from him being convicted (which is unlikely). In the land where the ukelele playing POS from Obamaha is worshiped as some kind of investing genius and Timmah is Treasury Sec, he will be up for some new job and all of the fraud will be forgotten by the masses.
I wanna see "Mr. Panos" commenting on Mr Corzine.
Isn't JP Morgan short the entire Comex Silver market? Something smells fishy here. I think the CFTC needs another 3 years to figure out that something ain't right in commodity land.
What's that old saying... Oh yeah I got it.... "Don't hold your breath..."
Tyler, why is this news not at the top for a while?
Yo Sparkey - its because the Lame Stream Media is all over it...24/7.
Haven't you been watching CNN, CNBC, the Al Sharpton network, PBS, CBS, ABC, The View,.....
They always dump these stories into the news flow late on Fridays, in the hope that by Monday the whole thing will be forgotten.
I don't think that's what is going to happen this time.
This will be buried some place deep and dark kind of like the warehouse in The Raiders of the Lost Arc
gun demand at an all time high.. Hmm.. imagine that.
Ruger stopped taking orders because they can't keep up.
Its the ammo part thats important unless pistol whipping and butt stroking is the prefered method of dispatching the nasties. Personally those methods should be reserved for bankers and politicians.
Life with pictures is sooooooooooooooooooooooo much better.
oops responded to the wrong link.
Amazing how this news comes out on a friday afternoon. Oh what am I saying, thats the normal MO and most folks will not watch the news tonight, if they do they will forget it by monday morning.
Putting out the trash.
Washington speak.
Phrase coined by Bubba Clinton.
Always of a Friday PM for the very reason you stated.
How can company funds be LEGALLY allowed to be placed in a Customer Segregated Account?
Call me a fuckin' idiot but that IS NOT SEGREGATED in any way.
"But, but they were company funds I ordered to be used, not client funds"
Now they CREATE some paperwork to show it WAS company funds.
This is a fuckin' clown shown.
+1 if this all REALLY PISSES YOU OFF.
This world is so fukked up........four people junked you.
I guess the criminal's union has weighed in......seems there's a union for everything these daze.
SDDD
Last I heard, Jon the Don Corzine raised $500k for the O's 2012 world tour and beyond campaign. Think anyone in CONgress has the huevos to do anything?
Fuck waiting for clowngress to do something.
In an election year someone will make an issue of it.
I think the republicans plan on letting Barry O have another four years because their mutual bosses, TPTB, have so much invested in Barry and because Barry's doing such a marvelous (and profitable) job for all the ones on top.
They do need to do the show, because the livestock need to think they actually have something to say about it. Silly livestock!
