This confirms the only remaining impression I have of Corporations class in LS -- that insider trading must be staggeringly difficult to detect, that it must be ricockulously common amongst the reptilian titans of securities trading, and that the only difference between a fat cat and a dead duck is that the dead duck got too greedy all at once on one big tip rather than playing smart and parlaying trading profits in small enough increments not to warrant attention. Also, don't be a celebrity big enough that an ambitious AUSA thinks he can deter others by making an example out of you -- that part I didn't learn in LS, admittedly.
But I'm a dumbfuck who is muy pobre and didn't have anything on his financial disclosure forms last year other than his house and about $10,000 worth of baby clothes, so don't take advice from me.
