Jon Corzine's Family Responds To Accusations Against The Patriarch
First appearing in Vanity Fair:, in response to Jon Corzine's riskiest business.
The sweeping negative narrative the authors use to describe our family in “Jon Corzine’s Riskiest Business” [by Bryan Burrough, William D. Cohan, and Bethany McLean, February] completely contradicts our firsthand experience of events and people.
We have never been estranged from our father, nor do we recognize the motives you ascribed to him in politics and business. The father we know ran for public office because of a lifelong desire to give back to society as well as a love of the political process and a passion to be a progressive Democrat. Our family, friends, and former business colleagues hold the same view. Though we disagree with your analysis of him and find your sources, often referred to as close friends, dubious at best, not to mention nameless, we understand judgments about public figures come with the territory.
What does not come with the territory in our minds are reckless allegations and assertions involving private personalities such as the ones you chose to propagate toward our mother, Joanne. Your portrayal of her is the opposite of who we know her to be. The subjective descriptions of her character based on quotes from anonymous “friends” is the elevation of gossip to legitimate reporting. The assertion regarding her becoming “close” to David Tepper is a blatant falsehood. She has never met or spoken to David Tepper. Our mother was an involved member of the Summit, New Jersey, community for almost 30 years and had built lifelong friendships. Our childhood home was not cold but warm and loving. Our mother tried to create as normal a life as possible for us. She taught us, by example, how to live a private and productive life.

Next, it is turn for the families of the thousands of people whose money was stolen by MF Global (and apparently Fabrice Tourre, since nobody at MF Global was responsible for anything... or else it just vaporized) to send in their letters.

Hang him by his nutsack until he sings about the location of the money?
Families always get emotional when they are carving up billions of dollars of other people's money...poor kids.
In an unrelated and off topic note, the adverts here have gone crazy. On one side it is offering me elegant dating, young women want to date a older gentleman like me, while on the other side, it wants me to purchase a baptism / communion / confirmation dress and accessories for my daughter.
I haven't been crusing dating sites, and my daughter is 30 this month. I haven't been to church in at least a year. WFT?
Back on topic, hang the whole family for grand theft.
What...you can't do both..?
haha...I'm a grandmother of 3 and am offered free sugar daddy service sign-up as long as I'm female. Well, I'm definitely female, but I somehow think any potential suitors would be GRAVELY disappointed in my "offerings".
if i was a corzine kid
..
i'd hide my piggy bank
Josh: Hey Mom, where'd you put my baseball glove?
Joanne: It's in the garage next to the bicycles.
Josh: Okay Mom, thanks.
Josh goes into the garage but can't find his baseball glove. He sees an old trunk and decides to look inside for his glove.
Josh: Mom, who put $1.2 billion dollars in the old trunk here in the garage?
Joanne: Repeat after me Josh. "we do not know where the $1.2 billion dollars are."
Josh: We do not know where the $1.2 billion dollars are.
Joanne: Very good. Now grab $50 from the chest so we can buy you a new baseball glove.
Careful Corzine family; karma can be a bitch...just ask Mark Madoff.
For some reason, I'm reminded of that parting salutation from the TV show "The Prisoner":
Be seeing you. ;)

Maybe it's here !
BA in history and works for a financial firm? Mmmm... sounds like a winner.
I wonder if he thinks history repeats.
Take off the blinders baby corzines....your Daddy is a greedy thief.
Claiming to be a rich democrat concerned for the poor is the last refuge of the scoundrel.
Is being a sociopath genetic?
Yes it can be. It is polygenetic multifactorial expression of genes interacting with environment.
I guess we shouldn't take any chances.
Knowing new jersey and new york there are a few mighty pissed off mofia types. Russian mob doesnt play games and doesnt sue in civil court.
I might go into hiding if I were you. Could be awfully dangerous out there. Be careful.
.
Neuter em so the blood line stops
That would be the humane solution.
We love you, Daddy Dearest.
Our family has a long, proud history of monetary vaporization.
Wonder what that prick would say to the dry cleaner who "doesn't know" where Corzine's shirts are?
...and what is with this "J" thing???? So narcissitic that you had start all your kids name with "J" Josh Jeffey Jennifer Jon.....Jackass!

to quote soth park
" and it's gone "
And we wonder what's wrong in this country.
We're scared to death and someone is writing and reading all our correspondence.
The Corzines - to the POKEY with them all - with Bubba and NO vaseline - for life - with no possibility of parole.
The Corzine Affair represents the perfect example of a very straightforward process of predatory jurisprudence/predatory legislation, circa 1994/1995:
The US Supreme Court decision, Central Bank of Denver v. First Interstate Bank of Denver, rules that plaintiffs CANNOT sue investment firms, attorneys and accountants involved in aiding and abetting securities fraud. (Predatory Jurisprudence)
The US Congress unanimously passes the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, thus making that US Supreme Court decision the law of the land. (Predatory Legislation)
I suspect Corzine, and family, will be safe from any legal retribution.
But for the rest of us.......
Ropes don't read law books.
If the kids would be kind enough to show us their investing strategies prior to MF going under it would be interesting. Especially to a prosecuter with political goals in life.
Free Jon Corzine!
(Bumper stickers available soon from the Corzine family.)
Get use to it fucking dipshits.
It comes with ripping off 100s of people 1.2B+ ...WTF? And you get to talk?
Your mom is a whore! Nice, but a whore!
IN OTHER WORDS.....basically what they are saying...I GOT YOUR MONEY....I STOLE IT AND NOTHING WILL HAPPEN. TOUGH SHIT BITCH...GO SUCK AN EGG AND SHUT THE FUCK UP WHILE YOURE AT IT....
4 letters for me.
J.A.I.L
PHUQUE THE CORLEONES, I MEAN THE CORZINES..THESE LITTLE MAFIA WHORES. WHO THE FUCK DO THEY THINK YOU ARE BULLSHITTING??? THEY'LL GET THEIR PIECE OF THE MF PIE WHEN THE OLD MAN CROAKS. C'MON, TRY TO STEAL MY MONEY. I'M NOT BRAIN DEAD LIKE THOSE MORONS TRADING ON THE FUTURES EXCHANGES. WON'T BE NEED FOR A GODDAMN TRIAL. THE ONLY NEED WILL BE FOR AN INDUSTRIAL SIZE WOODCHIPPER. PHUQUE THE LITTLE PRICKS.
Don't give The Corleone's a bad name ;)
Dear Corzine Brats,
Where is the money?
Luv,
Bernie Madoff
If I read the MF Global fiasco correctly (I'm not in finance/markets), doesn't this put a lot of farmers at risk? MF Global dealt in futures right? Lots of "losing the farm" so-to-speak? If so, pretty fucking evil.With the fucked up weather pattern, my guess is whatever these farmers hedged as insurance, isn't going to cover being robbed outright with zero possibility to recover their losses.
So yea, if Wall Street and the CONgress Members that enable this shit, let alone legally allow it, you know the Rule of Law is dead. Apparently Americans are just going to stand by and watch and hope this kind of shit doesn't happen to them (reminds me of another era).
Like some of the posters above, they all should be hanging, unfortunately it appears things will have to get even worse in order for Americans to actually act in any meaningful way.
farmers affected.

good link, thanks
Ok Kids - Thanks for the "victim" letter....but look at the facts about your daddy:
Ok kids, so now where do you think your life style has come from for the last feckin' 15 years?
Have you heard the news regarding Mr sanford?
I'm so sick of you elite, cock sucking, backstabbing, parasitic, rat bastard, smegma licking, ignorant, fuckstick, pathetic, wanna-be, insincere, muther fucking asshat children of brazen con men, liars, thieves, and scum of the earth spewing your oh so fucking sad stories about how daddy is a fucking champ and a great guy, and a beacon of goodness and morals and all that other horsehit of the first and higest everlasting order, that it makes me sick to my fucking stomach today and fucking twice on sunday you maggot filled vermin bitches.
+1
Don't hold back like that.
Say what you really think.
LOL
I am printing and and passing out copies. then I am going to frame it and hang next to the front door so it is the first thing i see when I come in.
Oh and print it on my Xmas card to the corzine family.
I +1'd because I thought that was a well thought out put down.
Even better than Clark Griswold berating his boss Frank Shirley about the Jelly of the Month Club Christmas bonus.
Mr. Corzine is worth 600 million. That would go a long way toward a satisfactory settlement.
That kind of money can buy a few judges and leave $500 M left over.
Josh! Jeffrey! Jennifer! Sometimes it's best just to shut the fuck up!! And this time is now!!
When is a thief not a thief?
This man is a sociopath and a hyperkleptomaniac.
Perhaps his family members who have thrown their irons into the fire will endeavor to explain where the missing $$$Billions are.
There are a whole lot of real families that would like to hear the answer.
Seriously, why are they still in the country? Get your Swiss or Dubai passport in order, pack the suitcases full of as much of the $750M that you can stuff in them, and bug out.....
maybe the real way to get the pyscopaths , is to go after their CHILDREN
That is the russian mob way.
Dear Josh, Jeffrey and Jennifer, Daddy failed to inform you that you too have been rehypothecated and are the collateral for those margin accounts that mysteriously "vaporized". Turn daddy in before he rolls on you...I would check my piggy banks....they might be fuller than you think.
P.S. Call Uncle Jamie.
FREE JON CORZINE!
fuck jon corzine
Oh! He is free?
Why am I reminded of Hillary's "vast right-wing conspiracy" speech?
Sorry kids, but your red Mercedes convertible and your Gucci chihuahua bag were bought on the backs and blood of other people. Daddy didn't make that money out of thin air. He stole it from Ma and Pa Kettle!
Perhaps the Don I mean Jon Corzine should be awarded with matching chrome bracelets, hand buffed iron leg shackles and an orange jumpsuit?
Wasn't this DB slated to be the next Treasury Secretary? WTF is this world coming to.
He still is.
I hope he gets it. Then perhaps, just maybe, other people will start to realize they chose to be ruled by criminals.
/but there will just be a false-flag attack a few days later, and everyone will forget all about it
Somebody needs to tell CNBS/MSM that Corzine was/is a "Progressive Democrat"...I never recall hearing them break that data point since the MF story broke.
Let's not forget about Jamie Dimon, and the fucker at Gsax. But we don't want to show too much anger lest they get their pharma buddies to unleash some sorta killer flu pandemic.
Read that article from Vanity Fair. It explains everything on the "whys" of the man. Too bad he didn't have a little more "wise".
The phrase "FAILING UPWARDS" comes to mind when reading his bio. Smart guy, but just one of those people who gets drunk on their success and oversteps their bounds. The membership is legion nowadays. I see it in far, far less successful people. Arrogance. Imperiousness. Disparging.
Corizine will spend the rest of his life in jail.
•j•
V-V
On what basis do you think he will ever spend a day in jail?
So far it appears that the sum total of the consequences for stealing $1B + is the chance - chance - of a $140,000 fine against the MF Global corporation.
It appears Corzine will get away with history's biggest "Heads I Win, Tails You Lose" game.
i would fully endorse capital punishment for corzine.
I guess it's all in the family.
How is that guy not in jail?
Some of you people should be ashamed, but then again people who post such vile and heinous comments don't understand this. Corzine's family has nothing to do with this. How can any of you who call for harm to an innocent family be any better than Jon? And that suggests that Jon has done something wrong when there has not a trial that I know of. Come on people!
Legally he may get off on splitting hairs with pledging versus comingling definitions.
Death may be the only way someone could feel they got a measure of justice.
The man is worth at least 600 million. If the family are such progressive democrats then they ahould give it away to those who are now poor as a result of this fiasco.
Fair enough. How about this:
Corzine offspring: When your father is convicted of multiple crimes and destroying the lives of many hard working American families, I hope you realize your "progressive" father was a crook of the highest order. May you spend the rest of your lives on the streets, giving $5 BJs for food money.
Better?
The sins of the father will be visited...........
Like Eric Holder, Corzine will never face justice as long as Obama is the president.
You are correct, with the sole issue being the failure to understand that the exact same result would occur were an equally corrupt and venal Rethuglican Administration in charge. You think Santorum (google his name) or Romney would give two shits about these investors? Puh-leze.
Get a clue quick before it's too late.
Dear POS:
On Friday I had $200k depposited with this family's Father's company. On Monday I learned they had stolen that money and gave it to JP Morgan. Now lets just pierce the corporate veil and talk man to man. I am knoking on the door, asking for the stolen money to be returned and also calling him a gigantic POS and if they support him they are a POS, and any sympathetic bystanders that defend him are POS.....They stole the money. He benefitted from this theft. That money likely benefitted his family. My family got damaged. I want restitution and penalties.
You are deranged if you equate restitution with criminal acts.
If the law won't represent people, then the people have no choice but to act in the law's stead....judge, jury, and you know who.
Shame on you, you POS.
Sadly, you are the POS and it reverberates in your writing. Blame, Blame, Blame. You, your father, your mother and anyone else should understand the risk you create when you place any of your money ANYWHERE. So I guess those of us who lost hundreds of thousands of dollars individually and trillions collectively during the dot com bust should have killed every wall street idiot who was talking up tech stocks? Now, Jon Corzine should go to jail and pay a huge penalty if he is in fact found guilty in a court of law, but to say that he and or his family should be harmed solidifies that you are in fact the POS you speak of.
@RSDallas. If the kids have NOTHING to do with this,they should,Shut The Fuck Up.

Corzine children, even though your father wears a suit and has an MBA , he is just as bad as a filthy crackhead stickup man.
Worse.
The crackhead is happy just stealing fifty bucks.
Anyone here have street addrss for them?
It's aliiive!
Our Daddy is not a crook and our Mommy is perfectly normal and not a bitch. We have not been forced or threatened in any way to say this and our Daddy loves us so much he bought us all a shiny new Lamborghini. Daddy says he is putting a lot of property and assets into our names. What a great Daddy! We Love our Daddy!
"The father we know ran for public office because of a lifelong desire to give back to society as well as a love of the political process and a passion to be a progressive Democrat."
- That excerpt seals the diagnosis of his serial sociopathy...
Just a lack of reaction by those that lost money by him shows how feminized/sissified people have become. There are a lot of countries where Corzine would have dissapeard and thown into the ocean with hungury sharks or alligators.
In China, the family would receive a bill for the bullet used in the execution.
It's amazing what a democrat can get away with when the mainstream media is control by the machine.
It's amazing what a republicrat can get away with when the mainstream media are controlled by the machine.
(fixed it for ya)
Whats got long blond hair, big tits and lives in Paraguay?
Jon Corzine
Just need to go puke...excuse me
Then LMAO
Here is a response...
If your father had an ounce of decency he would use all of the family's fortune to pay back the money. Since he didn't he's another arrogant criminal scumbag. Hopefully the next necktie he wears will be made of boiled rope.
if we start bothering his kids enough, maybe he'll surrender . . .
Corzine's brother runs a bike shop somewhere in the western suburbs of chicago.
ejhickey,
And Madoff's son killed himself. See the point? Corporate psychopaths take everything and everyone for their own advantage. Pity their family, but that's no excuse for the likes of Corzine and Madoff, just to name two corporate psychos.
I recall that Madoff's son made similar impassioned pleas on behalf of his father who was jailed as the biggest Ponzi thief in U.S. history...and the son killed himself about a year ago, while his father still enjoys protective custody...far from those who would give him 'assisted suicide' if they could get their hands on him.
The opinion of people who profit from crime is of no interest to me, and I hope the victims see justice served, eventually, one way or another.
The Corzines are pleading for their lives, with no regard for any honest inquiry into their profitable lifestyle...and clearly possess no shame, nor concern for anyone but themselves.
Exactly - under the circumstances, loyalty to family is touted as some sort of virtue, like a delicate flower floating on a pond of cesspool effluent. The family was of necessity insulated from Don Corzini's actions as the head bankster, but they knowlingly enjoyed the fruits of his deeds.
"Madoff" That was back in the good ole daze, the new US ponzi makes Madoff look like a Boy Scout..... with Honors.
This reminds me of when Dukakis said he didn't know about his wife's "drinking" problem. All of these people (and their families) have compartmentalized behavior patterns. Is it all of the 'coke' they snort? Is it some other type of mental illness? I mean, come on, they are in denial about EVERYTHING. Is there a 'side' to Joe's personality that knows that he couldn't tell 'the family' what games he was playing or risks etc. Remember, part of the game is that 'he didn't do anything illegal' strictly speaking right? It's just like Obama blowing up American citizens without even publishing the charges. The longer it goes on, the easier it gets for all of these sociopaths (or worse) to justify (rationalize) ANYTHING. "Just don't tell the wife and kids", says one of the voices in his head.
He should have took the"doing jesuses work"defense in the beginning and this would have blown over by now.
Here's my letter: anyone that would sleep with a dirtball like Jon Corzine (that means you Joanne) is a whore. Also, the kids should be rounded up and beaten mercilessly for defending this vile creep. It's outrageous that Corzine's demon spawn are benefitting from his criminal activity.
Pathetic.
Looks like Jon was hooked on "J"s.
Ask Josh,Jeffrey and Jennifer.
Must be a joo .
Fact: More than $1B of customer money is missing.
Fact: Corzine was CEO at that time.
Fact: The mess is in a legal quagmire with no charges against anyone to date. Four-plus months later.
I need to check my normalcy bias at the door, because this is off the charts, deer in the headlights, cat with the astonished look territory.
ARE YOU SERIOUS!? REALLY?!
The Bankers in charge must not be charged, they have a reputation to ..... never mind.
Even Hilter had family. Fuck this piece of shit. Special place in hell Johnny! Special place in hell!!
Yes, but his kids chose not to have kids. See, back then evil meant something. Today is is status quo.
Vanity Fair article was very interesting. Seemed pretty on target. Sorry, famiglia - daddy is a crook. Just like his nemesis Hank Paulson, who ousted Corzine from Goldman and took his place as Don Paulsini.
Scum of the earth.
Corzine likely paid someone to write the family response.... and paid the family to go along with it.... and gave them the Yacht (for the weekend).
Progressives like to spend other peoples money so the whole MFGlobal rape is right in character.
Kids: Your dad is a lying scumbag and a dirty thief. One day he will get what he deserves.
Corzine=elitist Progressive Democrat
Is that supposed to be a badge or a shield?
Neither works.
He still walks the streets with full sight, both hands, and without a limp. If he would have pulled that shit in say, hhhmmmm, USA's best friend: Saudi, he would be blind, minus one hand (or both), and hardly be able to walk. Of course that would be before the people he ripped off got to him.
Fact~~not defending this Peckerwood, but I believe that over 70% of the 1.6 Billion has been recovered and returned.
Ahhhh, he's a Saint doin' Gawd's work! Gawd bless his blighted little soul, he just want's ta help the little people!!! A Saint I say, a Saint!!!
...I want to puke!
the next weapon designed to change the public's opinion?
go cry on a talk show about how the family is shattered. Oprah says "there, there".
Catharsis.
