If they are allowed to continue this, they should have to disclose their positions immediately not 2 weeks.
- PaulHoule 4y agoThis guy writes about strange things in finance https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/authors/ARbTQlRLRjE/matthew-s-levine https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/authors/ARbTQlRLRjE/matthe... he frequently points out that most insider trading scandals are obtuse, it's hard for people to understand exactly what happened never mind get angry about it.

- aerostable_slug 4y agoBecause the media hasn't told them to be angry about it.
