No. If he did. it’s a crime. Next.
Good point.
Nobody is safe from this regime.
“Given the degree of separation between Michelson and Icahn (Walters), I view this as political payback for Michelson’s disparaging remarks about California’s excessive taxation.”
You beat me to it. I wholeheartedly agree. This is how communists do things.
Insider trading laws exist to prevent smaller investors from getting ahead of the real insiders.
Yet insider trading is perfectly legal for members of Congress. Because they are so special.
Nothing but a bunch of gawdamn thieves. The whole lot.
Icahn is not an insider, how is it a crime?
Insider Trading? I thought that was known as business as usual in the Congress and Senate.
NWO can’t have wealthy individuals breaking ranks.
If you’re wealthy, you’re supposed to turn over your capital to Wall Street (nwo) to manage. And then get neck-deep into using all the tax avoidance schemes they’ve set up to keep your own taxes low. These schemes funnel money into nwo programs and products and services sold by nwo in furtherance of those schemes. And, once you’ve “pushed the envelope” tax-wise, the IRS can always be used to hammer you. So you become, in essence, a wealthy court eunuch. You can stay fat and happy as long as you are completely working for nwo.
And then either shut your yap, or if you do speak, speak only in support of nwo’s agendas.
Since he dared say something about high taxes, and he’s a public figure, he’ll be targeted to set an example for other wealthy public figures who might think about speaking out.
If Phil comes out and supports state indoctrination “schools”, drugs, sodomy, etc., nwo might accept that as “pennance”.
Phil should invest in “the sheeple”, the “little people”. They don’t have the agenda of wanting to “own” their investors. He would just have to have his people do good legwork on investments. If the wealthy always made direct investments instead of having Wall Street manage their investments, it would help both the wealthy AND the sheeple.
Congress is exempt from insider trading laws. If Phil wants to do it, he should run for office.
This beyond stupid.
The word hero gets tossed around a lot. This might be the furthest it has ever been tossed.
I hope he stays smart and keeps his mouth shut. The FBI is harassing him by showing up at tournaments. When the Feds are after you, they will nail you on the slightest technicality, and I do believe this is payback.
Toddster! Haven’t seen your obvious trolls in months!
He gives himself away as a shill for the crooks here. Capital invested in a certain "concept" is in fact invested in a company, which spends it somewhere else, or in many places. The "initial" investment doesn't get spent once and then vanish.
Why should it be a crime?
Exactly.
He’s spot on. Did you ever study economics? Scarcity is a basic fact.
