Jon Corzine – “I Never Intended”
Jon Corzine has joined a list of political and business leaders who seem to have short and long term memory loss. Jon, the former CEO of MF GLobal, former United States Senator and former Governor of New Jersey has seemingly done for MF Global what he did for New Jersey. That is cause them financial ruin.
However, when questioned by Congress about the apparent disappearance of some 1.2 Billion (thats Billion with a B) Dollars that seems to have vanished under his watch at MF Global he can only answer that he “never intended” to do anything wrong, nor can he remember signing, as CEO, the companies Financial Statements with false and misleading information on them.
Seems that supposedly good intentions and bad memories are the current escape route for corrupt office holders, CEO’s, and other public figures. For example, Eric Holder, the U.S. Attorney General, who can’t remember when he found out about the “Fast and Furious” gun running debacle that has already caused the death of at least one U.S. Border Agent.
I wonder if good intentions and a poor memory will suffice for errors on my tax returns with the IRS?
Perhaps Mr. Jon Corzine should become a cellmate of Bernie Madoff so the two of them could play Monoply with each other for a number of years. Lets see, would that be 30 years or 40 years. Sorry, I can’t remember.
As for our forgetful Attorney General Eric Holder. Maybe he could spend some time in an orange jumpsuit in a prison cell with a 230 pound, heavily tatooed lifer named Bubba. I was thinking of a prison in Texas but a good friend suggested a jail in Juarez Mexico might be a more appropriate destination.
Just a thought. I never intended any of them should come to any harm…. honest!
