take them away in cuffs

1. Corzine has a major problem.

He's a very recent public figure. The feds will make an example out of him.

[Safetykitten]

2. Massive understatement.

[Warpy]

3. Let's just hope he's not still too rich to prosecute

Too many fat cats have simply skated away with bags of cash after destroying the dreams of millions of people.

Yeah, I'm looking at Mozillo and most of the Enron thieves.

5. First, do some time in a nice fed facility, then call CBS. Done.

6. He may be a flight risk. Once he gets down to the Caribbean on a plane or yacht he's home free.

The United States of America, with its tiny military and investigative resources, has never been able to find out or regulate who does what and what goes on in those treacherous Caribbean waters. He'll just slip away. It's not like Pakistan, where OBL was found, which is practically next door to us, and where we can see through walls, and which is a country sparsely populated by natives with no military to speak of, and where the main industry is serving fruity rum drinks to tourists.

7. Toss his ass in jail. He doesn't make our party look good, and he should be in jail regardless

for doing this...as well as all the other bankers.

8. This is the same Jon that was a senator and governor?

If it is I found him tainted years ago.

[Renew Deal]

9. Yes, same guy.

And if he participated in what is alleged at MF Global, he belongs in prison.

[rdking647]

10. he was the head of the company

whether he participated or not.toss his ass in jail

[joeybee12]

11. Now do some peopel understand why dems could NOT get excited about re-electing him? knr

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

13. Never liked the guy

Always came off to me like he thought "I'm rich, I have a right to be a senator/governor."

[RaleighNCDUer]

12. never mind.

I was confused. Whoever I was thinking of, it was not him.

He seems to be a very strong liberal - how'd he get into his current mess?

(edited, for mistaken identity).

[Yupster]

22. It all started when he was head of Goldman Sachs

Then he got elected to the senate, then governor, then when he lost his reelecteion, he went back to brokerage. This one he bankrupted in just two years.

Quite an accomplished career.

[Nye Bevan]

14. Shouldn't there be an investigation first

to determine whether there is probable cause that a crime was committed?

Or are we suspending the concept of due process?

[rdking647]

15. money is missing.. 700 million dollars

hes the head of the company.. hes also very wealthy and a flight risk..

arrest him. if it turns out the money isnt missing or there is no fraud then drop the charges..

but its still due process. hes being arrested not convicted

[banned from Kos]

16. that is not the way it works - there has to be probable cause, some evidence,

and a case made.

I am an old-fashioned ACLU donor - all this bloodlust on here is unnerving.

[rdking647]

17. 700m is missing..

allegedly used to cover MF's losses... thats fraud........

[DainBramaged]

18. Arrest Crispy Christie, it's his fault

If he hadn't won, Corzine would still be Governor

[rusty fender]

19. Begs the question since Corzine is so tall:

Is Gov. Krispy Kreme as fat as Jon Corzine is tall?:P

[MadrasT]

20. Yet nothing will happen to him...

...and Wall Street will keep sucking the wealth from the rest of us.

They should have "made an example" of all kinds of folks back in '08. Don't hold your breath on this one.

[Freddie Stubbs]

21. Has he committed any crimes?

[banned from Kos]

23. Hell, no. Mingling client money is a securities infraction

He will probably be banned from the industry for life at the worst.

But the "head on a pike" crowd wants blood - they remind me of a lynch mob.
