Can you sue someone for verbally lying to you? If I understand correctly, those typically only apply to libel/slander which does not seem to be the case here.

- ghoney 12y agoCan you sue someone for giving you false insider information? "Your honor, I was trying to conspire with these guys to break the law when these guys lied to me, costing me millions! Fraud!! It's fraud I tell you!" The judge should put them all in jail for insider trading.
- deelowe 12y agoHuh?
- jrs235 12y agoWouldn't that be the kicker? Monster and Lee win their fraud case. Then he SEC charges Lee and Monster with insider trading and win. And the kicker would be, the fine is the $100 million won in the civil fraud case AND (the best kicker) a few years in prison for Lee. Unfortunately, it probably won't happen.
