Congresscritters used derivatives to profit from economic collapse
- anigbrowl 17y agoI don't think much of your headline. Here's the original WSJ story: http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748703871904575216491495135642.html?mod=WSJ_hps_SECONDTopStories http://online.wsj.com/article/SB1000142405274870387190457521... tl;dr 13 members of Congress, from both parties, traded in the market or had their spouses trade. Some did so via managed funds, a few on their own account. One Republican made $28k, a Democrat's husband made $700. One of these 13 sits on the House Banking and Financial services committee. All info from public disclosure records. Meh.
