John Corzine - where'd the $ go?

A congressional committee investigating how $1.6 billion in customer funds went missing from bankrupt brokerage MF Global said Friday that it’s found evidence that then-CEO Jon Corzine directed a senior executive to use $200 million of clients’ money.

According to a memo from a House Financial Services subcommittee, the probe found that Corzine authorized the transfer of customer funds, citing an email from Edith O’Brien, the firm’s assistant treasurer.

I was discussing this with Josh Brown. Obviously, he wants to see Corzine go down for the count on this one (as do I), but I pointed out to him that the law of large numbers will intervene. In other words, if Corzine stole $2 million he'd probably get 40 years, but since he stole $200 million he'll probably get off scott free.
