"J. J. Abrams, the filmmaker and showrunner, is a friend of Ive’s, but he could not attend the September launch, because he was shooting “Star Wars: The Force Awakens,” in London. He later told me that Ive had shared some of the company’s news in advance, and that they had discussed “the fact that we were both working on things that had a level of expectation and anticipation that was preposterous."
Am I the only one that thought that sounds a lot like you just gave away material, non-public info to someone who could have easily acted on it? Probably nothing beyond what was in the rumor bin, but still.
- snowwrestler 12y agoHaving non-public information is not criminal. Only trading on it is.
- isamuel 12y agoIt's not even criminal to possess material, non-public information and trade on it. It's only illegal (at least in the United States) if the insider gives you the information in exchange for some tangible benefit, and then you trade on it.
- inthewoods 12y agoYes, that is true - however, it is generally frowned on by public companies to admit you shared such information outside the company.
