Fraud: Jon Corzine, George W. Bush and the 2005 Bankruptcy Reform

...only a receiver can go after fraud by third parties in a bankruptcy. But since the 2005 Bankruptcy law effectively prohibits the appointment of a receiver in bankruptcy, the bad guys get away. This is one of the proud legacies of President George W. Bush and the Republican Congress, BTW.
So when you hear Republican politicians pointing figures at Jon Corzine for his “alleged” acts of fraud in the MF Global collapse, ask them why they changed the bankruptcy code to allow such acts of fraud to go unpunished. The answer is that MBNA and other large banks pushed the changes, but only now do we understand that the targets were not merely hapless consumers but all investors.
