: ConglomerateInsider Trading: What Not to Do
By Gordon Smith, Christine, Hurt, Vic Fleischer, Fred Tung, Lisa Fairfax, David Zaring
OK, I'm throwing in the towel--the Disney insider trading story is just too good. Here's the letter sent to various hedge fund managers:
Hi, I have access to Disney's (DIS) quarterly earnings report before its release on 05/03/10 [sic]. I am willing to share this information for a fee that we can determine later. I am sorry but I can't disclose my identity for confidentiality reasons but we can correspond by email if you would like to discuss it. My email is eilatcap@gmail.com. I count on your discretion as you can count on mine. Thank you and I look forward to talking to you.
I'm honestly at a loss as to what to say. Maybe you can supply the punchline.
