Ridgewaycynic2013 Posted August 29, 2018 Posted August 29, 2018 So who's in more trouble? Haslam or Kendricks? Or Hue Jackson, for impersonating an NFL coach?

Anyway, how much longer until Carl Nassib is implicated in this as well? He gave himself away on Hard Knocks with his investment seminars and "rule of 7s".
TheFunPolice Posted August 29, 2018 Posted August 29, 2018 (edited) It has to be hard to know a company is going to tank due to insider information, know a family member or close field has a big chunk of money invested in the company, and yet keep your mouth shut and let them lose it all. OR the reverse, where you somehow become privy to some non-public information and buy a bunch of stocks based on the idea that they are about to boom. Instead, you should wait until everyone knows and pay 5 times as much. Not an excuse, but still... Luckily I'm broke so I don't have money to play the market. Edited August 29, 2018 by TheFunPolice

Still can the just have to disclose trades 45 days before law passage. It takes 45 days plus to get out of Committee. So have advanced knowledge of any new law that will inpact industry well before 45 days

Bakin Posted August 30, 2018 Posted August 30, 2018 Insider trading happens everyday, everywhere, all the time. An unlucky few get busted for it. I think it’s mostly a victimless crime.... Not sure what he means he didn’t take any of the profits for himself.

The Frankish Reich Posted August 30, 2018 Posted August 30, 2018 I assume the Browns weren't too thrilled with his play given that other accused criminals don't get cut immediately upon being implicated in a crime. Sure, white collar crime is still crime, but it hardly creates public revulsion the way domestic violence does. OK, I'll say it: we need linebackers! And the back story of the accused insider trading linebacker could be fun too. Go get him, Mr. Beane! (And yes, I am half serious here.) 1
