Because, if you knew the law, you'd know it's not illegal for representatives to use insider trading. Or at least it wasn't at one point. Not even kidding.

His mistake was acting on insider information he learned outside of Congress. Acting on insider information you learn as a consequence of being a member of Congress is not only not a crime, but the a primary source of income. (Edit: On reflection, the earnings from other corruption probably dwarfs the insider stuff) Edited August 29, 2018 by Ralonzo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure if the truths really came out we would be beyond repulsed... and it wasn't just a single NFL player there were may others who were the masterminds of this outside the NFL, ya know white collar fat cats who have their own sense of entitlement..

I'm not sure that there's ever been a white collar crime case in the NFL like this one. Normally it's just run of the mill domestic violence, sexual assault, PEDs, or ball deflation ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atlbillsfan1975 Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 As Gordon Gekko said, 'The point is, ladies and gentleman, that greed, for lack of a better word, is good.Greed is right, greed works. Greed clarifies, cuts through, and captures the essence of the evolutionary spirit. Greed, in all of its forms; greed for life, for money, for love, knowledge has marked the upward surge of mankind.'
