If that was completely true then Bernie Madoff wouldn't be behind bars. Political corruption rather than the race/religion of the person more likely explains why Corzine is still a free man...the fact that Corzine made the largest donation to the Democrat party...it would raise even more difficult questions if he was convicted. Sometimes the simplest explanation is the best one.It is in their interest to keep people stupid and to rescue their own. Corzine is one of them hence why are you surprised?
