Goodfellows

I was beginning to wonder if I was crazy or something. But wasn't this the former governor of New Jersey on trial? I ran a goggle search and found out I was right. Not only that, he was a Senator as well. Jon Corzine is one of the most powerful people in that state of  New Jersey. And a lot of others as well. This official is embedded in the unions and well connected in the banks. In addition to being former head of  Goldman &Sachs. He is the former incumbent who lost to Gov. Christie in the midst of claims of corruption. In a state with a history and reputation where the underworld has a major influence. The Regular Joes just banded together and voted him out. I read two days worth of articles concerning his latest troubles and it was never mentioned once. I found it strange no one was connecting the dots.

Then it dawned on me.  These pondents don't want to come up missing or find a horse head in their beds. Jon Corzine's whole demeanor is starting to reveal itself. Now I understand his humor. How can you not know what happened to $1.4B under your watch?  He is standing in front of the senate denying any involvement. What can you do? This guy is in the Mafia or Mob. Nobody with a loud voice making major money will address this. Heraldo Rivera was our last example. Let someone else take on that fight. No one could pull off crimes of this magnitude by themselves.  You never know who is involved. They have to be surrounded with people just like them. This reminds me of the movie "Goodfellows". Where they come in as partners and run your business into the ground. Jon Corzine is in  the clique.
