Giddens last year joined a lawsuit against Corzine and other former executives brought by MF Global customers.
Giddens has said that he may sue Corzine and other former executives for negligence and breach of fiduciary duty.
There is nothing as tiresome as iconoclasm for its own sake, and Mr Giddens can hardly be accused of that.

To date about 89 percent of the money has been recovered for U.S. customers of the firm and around 18 percent for foreign customers, according to the other MF Global trustee, James Giddens, who has overseen the liquidation of the firm's operations and distributed recovered funds to customers.
Boys are more likely than girls to have an underlying physical cause for early puberty, but boys in this study were most likely free of any physical conditions that might explain the results, said lead author Marcia Herman-Giddens, a researcher at the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill.
