So Senator Levin is OK with these young people just arrested in Chicago being held in indefinite detention? Just so I understand this correctly.

Head banging on desk!! You settle CIVIL suits based on money. You convict criminals engaged in fraud. There’s a difference. I can see why the PTB don’t much care for that Maxine lady – just too troublesome.

I’m very worried about what the President and the Democrats in Congress are likely to do to Medicare and Social Security to cut the deficit (rather than let the Bush tax cuts expire)- any news on that front?

This is just nuts. In this small developing country where I live, the smallest of small NGO must have an independent audit in place before it can receive a dime of international donor funding, but a US public company doesn’t- just nuts.

Exactly, David, and why we old school Democrats despair.

Wouldn’t it be clearer to say “steal your money” rather than “rip you off”? A rip off seems like may be you didn’t get full value for what you purchased. Corzine stole the money of people who trusted him- disgusting!

Am I remembering correctly that this settlement was agreed to before the AGs had investigated and fully determined the banks and MERS’s potential liability?
