New York – Jon Corzine has more
problems on his hands than most people think. Enter Wall streetartist named Geoffrey Raymond. He made his name known for his
paintings of Wall Street people who found themselves in trouble.
Raymond said after he heard the news
about Corzine he went to his studio and instead of doing a sketch of
Ken Lewis, he'd do one of Jon Corzine.
When asked
what inspired him to do this sketch instead of the Ken Burns one he
said “The missing $600 million dollars” making a reference to the
amount of missing money from MF Global customers' future accounts
when Corzine failed to turn the brokerage into an investment bank.
So far 35 portraits of executives,
politicians, and government officials have been painted since he quit
his job in 2006. Originally he painted waitresses and bartenders.
His old job was as a PR executive.
