Bloomberg News reported today that former Senator and Governor Jon Corzine personally ordered a $200,000,000 transfer from customer funds of MF Global just three days before the company collapsed. http://www.bloomberg.com/... See also: http://www.rawstory.com/... .
The transfer was reportedly to cover an overdue debt to JP Morgan Chase.
The problem is that Corzine testified under oath to Congress a few weeks ago that he had no knowledge of any such transfers.

Thanks for your patience with this raggedy diary!
