Former New Jersey governor Jon Corzine has resigned from MF Global. He will not seek any severance payments.

He has hired a criminal attorney.

Having managed the firm to bankruptcy and embarrassment, and now allegedly under FBI investigation, he can say his work is done there, I guess.

I talked quite a bit about Corzine’s career of spending enormous sums to obtain high public office, and his underwhelming performance in those offices, on NRANews.com.
