He shouldn't be in jail unless he broke the law, period. This really isn't a difficult subject (due process and all). Selling non-specific stock when we knew about COVID publicly in December is such a dumb thing to get worked up about. Selling specific stock based on non-public knowledge is a different story. What evidence do you have that Burr engaged in the latter?

He is an asshole, no doubt, because he LIED to the public about the severity of the disease.


oops, you gave the game away in that last sentence. see, that is the distinction: yes, we all have heard about that mysterious new flu before the world economy crashed, but he had privileged access to classified intelligence about the severity and scope of the issue, which informed his decisions - and, in typical banana republic style, wasn't even charged with a crime. again, not a surprise to see you shill for those guys, but you frankly couldn't do much worse of a job tbh...

Since you're all for fair play and to punish offenders you must most certainly agree that violent rioters / arsonists / looters must be put away for serious time right

hmm?

We knew how severe this issue was in China all the way back in December. Once it spread to Japan, South Korea, etc. in January it was clear to ANYONE paying attention that this could get out of hand. YOU knew how dangerous it was back then. All of this was PUBLIC information. Am I some fucking magical genius to have pulled back on some of my positions when I saw what was happening? Hell, we even created a thread in late FEBRUARY about this: https://forums.d2jsp.org/topic.php?t=82726310&f=119

If PARD created a thread about this, when do you think INFORMED people acted? If he had access to FDA filings involving vaccines and traded specific pharma stock based on that information, that would be insider trading. Trading stock based something a neanderthal can understand isn't.

again, scope and timing matter, you inadvertently admitted it yourself previously. but hey, don't let that stop you from shilling for your oligarchs - their boots don't lick themselves...

Why was the timing off? He did it in mid-February. Personally, I shorted positions in late January.

Just take the loss and post a smarter meme next time. "The FBI took his phone" LMFAO so much cringe

yeah seriously according to the prussian-soviet wannabe bot “fender” anyone who moved into cash or had a bearish position at any point in 2020 is an insider trader lmfao!

i could ask you (and expect a completely dishonest answer) by how much, and how significant and specific HIS sales were in comparison, but we both know you'd just jump to some other moronic talking point trying to suggest 'this is fine' - no matter what those guys do. his access to classified information and the timing of his sales couldn't be more obvious, but i can't make you see what you clearly don't WANT to. again, their boots won't lick themselves, so carry on...

Here is the document: http://pfds.opensecrets.org.s3.amazonaws.com/Burr_PTR_0202020-rotated%20%281%29.pdf

Which stocks are suspicious to you? Let's take a look at WH for example. Do you think he had specific knowledge about Wyndham resorts that was unavailable to the public?

If the SEC investigation finds foul play, I hope he gets fucking nailed. But this just seems like "yea duh" stuff that any informed person would do.

Dream scenario: Barrett gets confirmed(all but certain), Trump loses, Democrats take the Senate by a narrow margin, ensuring that the Supreme Court is not stacked.
