Did you chuckle and say, "This can't happen to me."
Think again. See THIS and THIS and THIS. Excerpt from the last link:
The lawsuit was brought by the IBEW Local 90 Pension Fund in Connecticut, and the Plumbers' and Pipefitters' Local #562 Pension Fund in Missouri, and seeks class-action status.How many pension funds are at stake?
It seeks damages for investors between February 3, 2011 and October 31, 2011 in MF Global securities, including its 1.875 percent convertible senior notes maturing in 2016, its 3.375 percent convertible senior notes maturing in 2018, and its 6.25 percent senior notes maturing in 2016.
MF Global is not a defendant because of the bankruptcy.
The case is IBEW Local 90 Pension Fund et al v. Corzine et al, U.S. District Court, Southern District of New York, No. 11-08401.
What tangled webs the Democratic Party weave!
ReplyDeleteSeriously, you have to admire the chutzpah of the progressive party. Let’s see. Democrats discriminate against people of color, while demanding equality for people of color. Wisconsin Democrats are ripping off their fellow citizens through public union swindles, while in New Jersey, former progressive officials are ripping off the unions. Raise your hand if you were surprised to learn that Mr. Corzine had no compunction arresting people for felonious behavior, except when the drunk driver happened to be Governor Corzine himself. As for MF Global —hey, lighten up! Jimmy Hoffa did it and union thugs continue to love that crooked bastard.

ReplyDeleteOf course a meltdown looms in our future.
ReplyDeleteThey are "fixing" a debt problem by... borrowing more money!
This has never worked, nor will it work this time.
Gold, silver and lead are the only good investments left.
