MF’s Corzine Ordered Funds Moved to JP Morgan, Memo Says


Jon S. Corzine, MF Global Holding Ltd. (MFGLQ)’s chief executive officer,
gave “direct instructions” to transfer $200 million from a customer fund
account to meet an overdraft in a brokerage account with JPMorgan Chase &
Co. (JPM), according to a memo written by congressional investigators.

Edith O’Brien, a treasurer for the firm, said in an e-mail quoted in the
memo that the transfer was “Per JC’s direct instructions,” according to a
copy of the memo obtained by Bloomberg News. The e-mail, dated Oct. 28, was
sent three days before the company collapsed, the memo says. The memo does
not indicate whether that phrase was the full text of the e-mail or an
excerpt.

...

Corzine, 65, in testimony in front of the House panel in December, said he
did not order any improper transfer of customer funds. Corzine also
testified that he never intended a misuse of customer funds at MF Global,
and that he doesn’t know where client funds went.


“I never gave any instruction to misuse customer funds, I never intended
anyone at MF Global to misuse customer funds and I don’t believe that
anything I said could reasonably have been interpreted as an instruction to
misuse customer funds,” Corzine told lawmakers in December.

So, When is Corzine Going to Jail?  Any chance for a pre-emptive pardon?
