Taking money out of individual accounts to cover a bet on the Euro (in the $100s of millions) has NEVER been done. It's never been done since the East India Tea Company started markets. THAT'S how outrageous this is. It was such a outrageous event that everyone I've read who have been interviewed have said it would have only been done under the direct leadership OF Corzine.
Well since I doubt Corzine knows how to program the software or even operate it to move money from various account types, then there is most likely going to be an audit trail back to how and where this happened.
Are you willing to wait and see what the forensic auditors say about it before you hang him?
Yet, he's walking away.... laughing his fatarse off.
I don't think he has been cleared yet.
Who has been prosecuted? No one.
Well one has to get evidence first you know, and being somewhat familiar with these accounting systems, that is going to be done by outsiders and they are going to take a while to get up to speed on the system and then there is likely voluminous data that has to be looked at before they can say how this was done, and if it was deliberate (your working assumption) or an operational error (big oops, but it could be entirely accidental) or a system flaw (another big oops and again, no one actually to blame)
Imagine you put your money into your trading account, you purchased a futures contract (gold as an example), you were issued a receipt for your futures purchase - then the day comes to collect your gold and you have no gold AND no money in your account! It was stolen from your account to cover a bet some douche CEO was gambling on.
THAT is criminal. Yet, this is exactly what was done to plenty of traders and savers and just plain customers.
See above.
It's done with an accounting system.
They can have flaws and things can happen in the operation of the system which can cause the loss of money and not be criminal.
At this time we don't know how this money was used or if it was deliberate and if so, who was responsible.
Can't you wait to find out?
Also to note: The very minute Corzine left GovernmentSach's Inc. and had to make money without the benefit of inside information, he fell flat on his f*cking face.
So?
The US government asked Google for user information 4,287 times during the first six months of 2010.During the same timeframe the UK government put in over 1,000 such requests. This is just two snippets from Google's new Transparency Report, a set of tools designed to show censorship levels around the globe.
Let me guess, there were 4287 ISLAMIC TERRORISTS American Citizens planning attacks in America. I told you, it's YOU and I they want to monitor with all these god damn unPatriot Acts they keep creating. They're not worried about terrorists. Hell, Osama's not even alive!
So?
Do you know what the requests were for?
Because without further info they might have been about internet fraud, identity theft, child porn and other legitimate criminal cases.
Indeed, given the 239 MILLION internet users in the US alone (and Google is international) I'd say ~8,000 requests for info is VERY LOW and not at all an indication that the Govt is spying on us, indeed it would be good evidence for the opposite conclusion.
I'm not sure why symmetry matters. It was a couple of goat f8ckers in a cave. While you're willing to live with less Liberty I'm not.
What liberty have I given up?
Be specific, what can't I do now that I could do before?
I direct your attention to the ACLU also condemned Obama for passing the American Indefinite Detention Act.
Yeah, and while I generally support them, I'm also aware that they, like you, take the worst possible interpretation of all legislation and if they can possibly construe that it could be used negatively they are proactively against it.
Which gets them LOTS of followers like you to support their general agenda.
So knock yourself out railing against the injustice of the NDAA and be sure and donate some money to the ACLU while you are at it, they always need the money.
