Corzine off the crook

It's official.
Jon Corzine will not be cuffed over MF Global's improper handling of customers' funds leading up to the commodity brokerage firm's spectacular collapse in late 2011, The Post has learned.
Federal investigators have found no evidence that the disgraced Wall Street titan broke the law.
'After 18 months of investigation, the criminal probe into Jon Corzine is now being dropped,' a person with knowledge of the probe told The Post.
'There is no evidence of criminal wrongdoing,' this person said.
The Justice Department's decision to drop the case is sure to come as a relief to Corzine, who has been widely blamed for MFG's bankruptcy — as well as the misuse of some $1.6 billion in customers' funds.

Last week, Corzine was hit with civil charges by the Commodities Futures Trading Commission in connection with the illegal tapping of the funds, which were improperly co-mingled with the MFG's house money in the firm's final days.
The regulator also charged Edith O'Brien, MFG's former assistant treasurer, for carrying out the illegal transfers in a desperate bid to keep the troubled company afloat.
Both Corzine and O'Brien have denied the allegations.
Criminal investigators, including federal prosecutors and the FBI, have been probing the breach since shortly after it was uncovered with its Halloween 2011 bankruptcy.
At the time it was the eighth largest bankruptcy in US history — and the largest since Lehman Brothers went under in September 2008.
Investigators last interviewed Corzine, who has denied authorizing the transfers, in September 2012, sources said.
The criminal probe then appeared to run out of steam until a few months ago when O'Brien was granted immunity and agreed to cooperate.
Unfortunately for mad-as-hell MFG customers, many of whom are still owed money, the talks with O'Brien failed to convince the feds of any Corzine guilt.
Representatives for Manhattan US Attorney Preet Bharara's office and the FBI declined to comment, as did a spokesman for Corzine.
The CFTC lawsuit relied on recorded telephone conversations to support their allegation that Corzine was fully aware of the transfers.

Jeff Corzine, Son of Ex-N.J. Governor, Dies in Mexico
By Terrence Dopp and Nacha Cattan Mar 13, 2014 11:36 PM CT
Jeffrey Corzine, the youngest son of Jon Corzine, the former co-chairman of Goldman Sachs Group Inc. (GS) and governor of New Jersey, killed himself in Mexico after a struggle with depression, representatives of the family and the U.S. Embassy in Mexico City said yesterday.
Steven Goldberg, the family spokesman, said Jeffrey Corzine had been under treatment for the illness, without saying where he died. Melissa Martinez, an embassy spokeswoman responding to questions about Corzine, said a U.S. citizen died in Mexico on March 11 and referred reporters to Goldberg.
'Jeffrey Corzine had been suffering from severe depression for several years and recently had been receiving treatment for what is a very painful and debilitating physical and mental ailment,' Goldberg said in a statement late yesterday. 'On Tuesday morning, he succumbed to his disease and made the tragic decision to take his own life.'
Corzine, who was 31 according to public records, listed his home as Malibu, California, on his Facebook Inc. account. For the past 10 years, he had worked to help other people 'overcome their struggles with depression and addiction,' Goldberg said, without giving details.
In 2012, Jeffrey Corzine won Warren Buffett's 237-player poker tournament, the NetJets Poker Invitational, at Wynn Las Vegas, according to results published by the NetJets Inc. unit of Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway Inc. (BRK/A) The game, open to customers of the fractional-ownership program, had a grand prize of 10 flight hours on a Bombardier Inc. Global-series plane valued at $150,000.

Jeffrey Corzine is survived by a sister, Jennifer; a brother, Josh, and his parents. Jon Corzine and his wife, Joanne, divorced in 2003. Goldberg said the family is planning a private memorial service.
A photograph posted on the younger Corzine's Facebook page showed him with President Barack Obama, who campaigned for his father's re-election as governor in 2009. Jon Corzine, a Democrat, was defeated by Republican Chris Christie.
'My thoughts and prayers are with Governor Corzine, Joanne and the entire Corzine family,' Christie, the current New Jersey governor, said in a statement. 'They are both devoted parents and the loss they have suffered is unthinkable.'
In 2007, Jeffrey Corzine was present every day at Cooper University Hospital in Camden where his father spent 18 days after a near-fatal car crash while governor. Jon Corzine emerged from that episode saying he held a newfound appreciation of family and that it had caused him to rethink his priorities.
Goldman Sachs
The former governor spent 24 years at New York-based Goldman Sachs, becoming co-head of the firm with Henry Paulson, who later became the U.S. Treasury secretary under President George W. Bush. After Corzine was ousted from Goldman Sachs in 1999, he won a U.S. Senate seat representing New Jersey in 2000 and then was elected the state's governor in 2005.
Corzine, now 67, took command of MF Global Holdings Inc., a commodity broker, in 2010. He is fighting a lawsuit brought by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission over allegations that he failed to properly oversee the company's brokerage unit as it spiraled toward failure in 2011, as $1.6 billion in customer funds went missing.

Corzine's collapsed firm must pay $1.2B settlement
By Kevin DuganDecember 24, 2014 | 11:01pm
Jon Corzine probably would have preferred a lump of coal in his stocking.
MF Global — the brokerage firm that collapsed when Corzine was its chief executive — has to pay $1.2 billion in restitution and a $100 million civil fine after it was found to have improperly used customers' money to prop up its faltering trading operations.
A Manhattan federal judge approved the settlement with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission on Wednesday.
The CFTC, which was MF Global's main regulator, is still pursuing a case against Corzine and the company's former assistant treasurer, Edith O'Brien. The former execs could face fines as well as a ban from trading commodities.
The settlement with the CFTC doesn't affect another class-action lawsuit against Corzine, according to the order by Judge Vincent Marrero.
Corzine, a former New Jersey governor and an ex-chairman of Goldman Sachs, ran MF Global until its bankruptcy in October 2011, when investors got spooked by the firm's $6.3 billion bet on shaky European government bonds — and pulled their money.

In the chaos that ensued, the company used customer funds to cover funding shortfalls. Corzine has had no luck getting the courts to dismiss suits holding him accountable for his role in the firm's collapse.
Representatives for Corzine, MF Global and the CFTC didn't return phone calls and e-mails seeking comment.

Wynn's Triple Play
When Elaine Wynn commissioned Timothy Greenfield-Sanders to photograph her billionaire hotelier and art collector husband, Steve Wynn. it took the two very busy men about a year to agree on a day and time. Greenfield-Sanders arrived at the Wynn Las Vegas hotel shortly before their appointment last summer and, after settling into his room, made his way to the 8,000-square-foot ballroom that would be his makeshift studio.
'I had the 20×24-inch Polaroid camera out and Wynn was just thrilled,' Greenfield-Sanders says. 'After a few shots he said, 'OK, I'll be back in an hour with the boys.' I didn't really know what he meant by that.'
Wynn returned an hour later with Warren Buffett and Bill Gates. Buffett's company NetJets was hosting a poker tournament down the hall, and Wynn wanted to get his 'boys' in on the action. Greenfield-Sanders took a triple portrait as well as shots of them individually. 'Gates is a little reserved,' the photographer says. 'You can sort of fantasize thaat he's just thinking of calculations all the time. And Buffett's extremely outgoing and funny.'
Wynn was so pleased with the large-format Polaroids, he asked Greenfield-Sanders to show them at the NetJets tournament. 'We brought them into the next room,' Greenfield-Sanders recalls. 'Steve grabbed a mic, stopped everyone, and said, 'I've just had my portrait done by the world's greatest photogrpher! Come and see! They're all here right now!' Of course, I was a little embarrassed.'
