Yeah, insider stuff happens all of the time. However, expecting to get away with essentially sending an open letter to investment houses offering to break the law isn't a sign of a criminal mastermind.
Back when I worked for Wells Fargo I had the same last name as the chief legal counsel for the holding company. It wasn't uncommon for me to get information that I really wasn't supposed to have and several times I was copied on quarterly results weeks early and learned of acquisitions well before they were publicly announced. Sometimes I wonder how much I was saved from doing something stupid by not having the resources to really take advantage of it.
