Futures firm run by former NJ Gov Corzine goes bust

MF Global Holdings Ltd, the futures broker run by former Goldman Sachs chief and NJ Gov. Jon Corzine, has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. Done in by Corzine’s big bets on euro-zone debt. FYI – Corzine is a chronic investment banker and card-carrying member of the 1%, just the sort of person Micheal Moore and OWS should be picketing. The fact that he’s an Obama-lovin’ Democrat shouldn’t matter to these principled types.

  • Rumor has it his debt to assest ratio or whatever they call it was over 40 to 1. Lehman Brothers was 33 to 1 when they failed. And there are allegations of comngling his company money with his investors money, which is described as a "very serious breach or regulations." Creep.

  • Good ole Joisee. I bet his MAFIA brothers love him spreeding the wealth to them. Have you ever heard of a Mafioso filing Chapter 11? HA!! Now you have.

  • It's about time he caught his. Now the question needs asked. How much of his own money did he lose? Could it be he pulled a Bernie and screwed everyone else out of their money all the time hiding his own?
