The insider trading is probably like the virus. How many of these bastards got tipped off?

[brewens]

Assuming almost all of them would tip off another buddy and or family member, they in turn spread it. It might have been enough to help the market tank even faster. That would be ironic.

1. They didn't warn the public so they could sell high.

It doesn't get more treasonous than this.

[brewens]

2. It's like the Enron guys. That's just brutal. If it's as wide spread as it could be, the shit will

hit the fan and stay hit. But I thought that about the last crash too.

4. More like Martha Stewart. Gee. I forgot. What happened to her?

[PoliticAverse]

7. She made the error of lying to investigators instead of referring any questions to her attorney. n/t

[Aquaria]

9. Got convicted for

Conspiracy, obstruction of justice and lying to federal investigators.

12. All that they got her for was perjury everything else was legal

10. She ended up

collecting dental floss from fellow prisoners to crochet shiv cozies.

16. Yes it does, they knew how dangerous the virus was and let us wait while they dithered...

...then, then they did insider trading, helped the market crash, took their money while thousands, tens of thousand 401Ks of the people they represented crashed... and they did it knowing people would suffer.

[DENVERPOPS]

18. Actually

They may have shorted the stocks, not only protecting their money, but by selling short they made money off the crashing stocks.

[dchill]

3. Everybody at the briefings knew...

...but how many of them acted on that secret information in their own interest?

[babylonsister]

6. I predict there's more. nt

[ancianita]

5. ...

[safeinOhio]

8. I wonder how the

Stock market will like this?

[DENVERPOPS]

19. Especially

Especially when the President of the NYSE and his Republican senator wife just got tagged for insider trading........

[Under The Radar]

11. Yea it was... they dumped all of their stock and their donors do the same..

...more than enough to start an avalanche

[safeinOhio]

13. Bigger than Tea Pot Dome.

Could be and that was big, if not the biggest.

[Scruffy1]

15. And it will probably end up about the same.

Fall went prison for taking a bribe and Sinclair, who gave the bribe, walked because he was very rich and had lots of lawyers.

14. Loeffler's hubby is Chairman of the NY Stock Exchange. . . . nt
