  1. excellent #s in documenting corruption for an individual, Carlson. But just to keep it in perspective….

    $1,600,0000,000,000,000

  2. Perhaps one of the most corrupt individuals is Jackie Clegg (Dodd – wife of Senator Chris Dodd) who last year raked in:
    $250,000 from IPC Holdings – Subsidiary of AIG
    $350,000 from Clegg International Consultants as managing partner for consulting fees
    $ 49,000 from Cardiome Pharmacutical Co. for director fees
    $130,000 from Javelin Pharmaceutical Co. for director fees
    $ 54,811 from CME Group for director fees
    $130,000 from Brookside Senior Living for director fees
    $146,000 from Blockbuster for director fees
    $?? from Cabot Holdings (or CBOT Holdings) for director fees
    $?? from Chicago Board of Trade for director fees
    $?? from Export-Import Bank of US for serving as Chief Operating Officer
    Is this perhaps how one can pursuade the US Senate?!!

  3. I have to go with the Fed/IMF. I decided on that before I read the the previous post. They even lie about what they are.

    AIG was a criminal enterprise before the takeover, helping corporations evade taxes with captive reinsurance scams. Then it just became a conduit to send taxpayer money to GS.

    It is a very challenging to weigh the decision. Size, depth of deceit, corruption? One could probably find the most corrupt by the amount of money spent on campaign contributions and lobbyists.

    Kimberly Clark and the Fed should merge… all that paper.. you won’t be able to tell the difference between TP and Federal Reserve notes except that TP will go up in value as the other goes down. Great hedging opportunity. buy ink…

  4. The Federal Reserve consists of the Board of Governors and 12 banks, with the most powerful being the NY Fed, which is owned by its members. And who are they? Goldman Sachs….

  5. currently, it’s gotta be GS! those are some tough choices, however. cargill, only bested by monsanto…exxonmobil clearly very parasitic. AIG is just just the tool used by GS to distribute US taxpayer dollars to the elite of the world. walmart, is sucking blood from just about everyone on the planet, so they might an even better shot than GS. UBS, Kimberly-Clark, and Merck (another tough one), just aren’t big enough tapeworms for me to justify. I still gotta say GS as they are largely responsible for the govt decisions in the US for the past 20 years or so, and has sucked the entire world into some 1,600,0000,000,000,000 dollars in debt (and counting???). that’s 1.6 quadrillion US$. curious to hear other viewpoints on this one.
