Forum Post: Claim : Clinton Collected $50K Per Month From MF Global

"A former MF Global employee accused former president William J. Clinton of collecting $50,000 per month through his Teneo advisory firm in the months before the brokerage careened towards its Halloween filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy.

Teneo was hired by MF Global’s former CEO Jon S. Corzine to improve his image and to enhance his connections with Clinton’s political family, said the employee, who asked that his name be withheld because he feared retribution.

“They were supposed to be helping Corzine improve his image as a CEO—I guess you can tell how that went,” he said. Corzine resigned as CEO and chairman November 4.

Before Corzine joined MF Global in May 2010, the firm was a smart and well-run commodities broker, a culture that was turned upside-down by his leadership style, he said.

“The traders would be shaking their heads,” he said. “They would come back to their desk and say, ‘Well, I thought we were going to do this—but Corzine would come by and do something else all by himself,’” he said.

The Teneo contract with MF Global lasted at least five months, he said. “The board cancelled it after Corzine resigned.”

I'm not condoning assassination and murder...but sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do...Our current legal system is obviously not going to anything about it. And these high politicians and justices and businessmen are obviously put in a position where they are nearly impossible to root out, no matter how corrupt they are proved to be.

I would never want any President to be hurt in any way and the secret service would investigate any threats to a president. End of discussion.

Yeah, I don't like the idea of hurting innocent people either.

yes - lets continue to use right wing rags like human events to smear the Clintons - use the "w" word - shows your real class
Are you a "w" for Mellon Scaithe? or Koch?
or are you just one of the ditto-heads?

In case you didn't notice
Bill is working to help the world while shrub and dicky would not dare step in many other countries for fear of being arrested for war crimes.
Hillary is the most popular office holder in our government

I wish that were true.

However, a PR firm doesn't have access to the financials. The accounting and auditing firms were corrupt!
