Tisk Tisk, that's not Mouse.

Tisk Tisk, when you work for Disney you are supposed to squeeze the guests not the Mouse.

How people ever think they can get away with something like that is beyond me.

Probably because people get away with stuff like that all the time.

I wonder how many times Fergie got away with it before she was caught.

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.
