The other day, I watched a "Frontline" (PBS) show about MF Global.
The CEO of MF Global, when it failed, was Jon Corzine, a former Goldman Sachs
CEO. At MF Global, he also used some "creative" techniques that
destroyed the company and even included conversion of customers money. One
thing that was mentioned in the show was that the regulator,the Commodities
Futures Trading Commission was planning to ban inside borrowing, where one part
of a company borrowed from another. As this was something MFG was doing a lot,
Corzine lobbied the CFTC to not implement that ban. It would appear from these
two cases, and many more, that the execs in many financial institutions are
bankrupting the economy for their own greed. A lot of these harmful practices
started after the Reagan administration brought in a lot of deregulation of the
financial industry.
