Let's say I had a short equity position in some company. Now, some bad guy comes and murders the CEO of that company, tanking the equity. A crime was committed, and I profited. Did I profit from a crime? Did I do something wrong?
- colinbartlett 13y agoYou did if you had prior evidence that the bad guy was going to murder the CEO.
- 3825 13y agoIf I know of a criminal conspiracy and don't report it am I a criminal? It sounds unfair, doesn't it? I mean I didn't take part in the conspiracy or the crime...
- cdash 13y agoDoes not sound unfair to me, by not reporting it you have taken part in the conspiracy in my mind, that is if you actually believe it is a real conspiracy and not a bunch of talk.
