This is a frustrating title. While it is technically true, it elides some important information and context:
- He had been out of Congress for over 8 years at the time of the Sprint/T-Mobile merger.
- He made considerably larger gains (2x, $100k more nominally) on his Navigant insider trade.
- None of his insider trading was related to either Congress directly or congressional info on the named merger, as one might infer from the title.
Why not “Former Rep. Turned Consultant Illegally Traded On Client Info From T-Mobile And Navigant” or something similar but more concise?
- whoiscroberts 3y agoWhy not? To give the impression to ‘headline only’ readers that congress people do in fact get in trouble for insider trading.
