Jon Corzine Isn’t Finished Here

By

Back in November, shortly after MF Global filed for bankruptcy, many suggested that even if he changed his name and underwent an appearance-altering makeover that included shaving the beard, it would be unlikely that Jon Corzine would ever work again, whether on Wall Street or as a traveling vacuum salesman going door to door to push his product. No, people said– he was finished. Forward his non-existent calls to the couch, where you’d be able to find him on any given morning, eating cereal out of a punch bowl and shouting “Oh shit! Paternity tests don’t lie!” along with the Maury audience before his pre-afternoon nap. How could he possibly find gainful employment again, after all that’d happened, people asked before answering that no, it was impossible. At the time, we cautioned not to underestimate the fire inside JSC, who has never let setbacks define him and who would likely soon demonstrate his conviction in the saying tattooed on his ass- “Each time a door closes, a bigger, more fucking awesome one opens.” Assuming he can cover the rent, that door has come.

Jon S. Corzine, who resigned as chief executive of MF Global Holdings Ltd. shortly after the securities firm collapsed in October, recently has been looking for office space in Manhattan, according to people familiar with the situation. One of the locations he seems interested in: brokerage firm John Carris Investments, at 40 Wall St., around the corner from the New York Stock Exchange, these people said. Employees at the small firm have been told that the former Goldman Sachs Group Inc. chairman and New Jersey governor might drop by, one person familiar with the situation said. Another person said Mr. Corzine is interested only in securing office space, not a job at John Carris. Mr. Corzine couldn’t be reached to comment.

    We'll know he's serious about this when he shaves the beard, takes the Series 7 and becomes a born-again Christian.

    Yes, I understand that he was looking through his accounts last week and found $1.2billion he didn't realize he had. It's given him a good opportunity to set up a hedge fund to leverage up some Italian bond purchases…..

    Caruso: What have we got?

    Detective #1: The office just had a new bathroom installed for a former Goldman Sachs bigshot who came onboard recently. Today they found a dead bum in it.

    Caruso: (Ponders the crime scene, stands up, removes sun glasses) "You'll always have problems with a new Jon……"

    Corzine's new office should be 6' by 9',have steel bars, two bunks (one taken by a 315lb guy named Bubba) and a stainless steel toilet.

    No BS, i had a swiss client who said that he always came back with twice as much and actually did two years later. I was schocked as he had blown out completely with a small debit.

    I know it’s only for terrorist purposes, but that hasn’t ever stopped our government from abusing the constitution, hopefully Corzine’s money won’t make them dizzy.

    I intended to send you that little bit of note just to give thanks again about the striking solutions you have contributed in this case. It has been so unbelievably generous with you to offer unreservedly what exactly a number of us could possibly have sold as an ebook to help with making some cash for themselves, primarily given that you might well have tried it if you wanted. The principles as well worked like the fantastic way to know that other individuals have a similar passion really like my personal own to understand lots more pertaining to this condition. Certainly there are thousands of more enjoyable situations ahead for many who check out your blog.
