MF GLOBAL - CRIME OF THE CENTURY

I did predict something like this would happen in about the second week of the scandal, didn’t I?Did you ever imagine that in America a major brokerage firm would blazenly steal over a billion dollars in customer funds and assets, and that no one would even be prosecuted?

And that the financiers would use the courts to just keep the money, and basically tell the broker’s customers to eat shit?

The money? Oh no, that’s just vaporized. Just a freak accident, practically an act of God. Very mysterious, but could not happen again. Protection? Sorry don’t know anything about that.

No one knows anything. Except that the financial system can’t be trusted, and that nothing in it is safe. But they are afraid to admit it.

You or I would go to PRISON for stealing $50,000. And you can bet your life that the police and State's Attorney would max out OUR sentences and add "without possiblity of parole" if we tried to say "I don't have it anymore -- it just vaporized"....where IS that idiot who said "the system is working"? Or that cop who said get elected and change it if you don't like it? BOTH of them are not living in the world of reality....
