Hmmm... I'm still fuming over the fact that Gary Winnick and Terry McAullif (spelling?) drained the Global Crossing "bank" for millions of dollars while "small" (@ $3,000) investors like me got left with stock worth less than used toilet paper.
If insider trading was not illegal then what you're presently seeing with today's crash and burn equities market would be a day at Disney World.
Actually, it is - if the information is private and not generally known.
However, the fact that this allegation is from 2004 makes it highly suspicious.
It might be a crime. To the actual insider! Not to the person who hears the gossip. Same trap Martha fell into.
Cuban: stfu. Martha only went down for “lying to investigators.” Say nothing to investigators!
Maybe Mark could hire Martha Stewart as his personal advisor....
Schadenfreude bump!
What are you talking about? What do you think INSIDER TRADING is? There’s a reason for insider trading laws...this is it..if there were no laws, only a few would benefit. Do you know anything about how markets work?
When did you become so totally unpleasant?
Talk about irony.
I hope that was an attempt at humor and not calling me an idiot because I am a Cubs fan.
