this only proves how screwed the system is - regulators fail to do their job - innocent taxpayers must pay, or go trough hardship and in some cases even go BK But unfortunate no regulator goes to jail or forced into BK

>>For the first time in 25 years, Minnesota farmer Dean Tofteland has missed his deadline to buy seed for next spring's corn and soybean crops. With $200,000 of his money yet to be returned from the accounts of MF Global, his former broker, the 49-year-old farmer has missed a $5,000 discount for early buyers...<< Been hearing for years about individual farmers using futures, and I always thought "futures are a great way to make a small fortune (out of a large one!)". So I'm not too surprised to see the provincials getting burned by the big city boyz. If we're really lucky, the great unwinding will continue for another 10-15 years. If unlucky, it will happen a lot faster! :o)

Janet Tavakoli is very, very good. An article she wrote on MF huffingtonpost.com Corzine is from Illinois, but gravitated to the sleaziest state in the US, New Jersey, where, if you look carefully enough, he compiled a sleazy record. I think he's sociopathic, perfect head of GS, a model modern era governor and Senator, poster boy for what is wrong with finance these days. In other words, an enormous a- hole He's also stupid, believing in the summer of 2010 that European sovereign debt was appropriate for repo- to-maturity transactions..........all he had to do was read this board and he would have known better.
