MF Global, Corzine and Goldman Sachs

Looking at the way the bankruptcy of MF Global was handled gives you a good idea about where the financial system in the US is going.  When you listen to the linked video, the future prospects of finance do not look good.  The corruption of the financial system thus continues on and it seems that only a few hardy individuals are standing up for the rights of others and for the rule of law.  All those regulatory agencies seem impotent.

MF Global:  Mark Melin Interviews Haar and Koutoulas on What Really Happened
By Jesse - Le Café Américain

. . . .

Here is an interview conducted by Mark Melin of Uncorrelated Investments, who represents a particular financial firm, Opalesque Investments. These days one must take the facts where one may find them.

In the first half he interviews Stanley Haar who discusses MF Global, and also the commodity markets in which he trades. He says that there was a concerted effort, a 'conspiracy if you will,' by JPM and Goldman Sachs to use their power and influence to structure the bankruptcy in an unusual way, twisting justice to favor their financial interests. If they are successful it will set a dangerous precedent in undermining the integrity of customer accounts and the entire US financial system.

In the second half he interviews James Koutoulas who formed the Commodity Customer Coalition which informally represents the interests of most of the 8000+ customers whose money was stolen.
