They were not worth 12 bucks. They were valued at 12 bucks. Everyone thought they weren't worth that much.Sis said:Their shares were worth 12 bucks. But, they saw which way the wind was blowing and sold 90% of their stock when it was still that high. When the stocks worth dropped to 3 bucks, they got away clean with a lot of money.Zachery Gaskins said:$200 million made from a business failure? It's obvious these people experience reality on a completely different wavelength from everyone else. Ask me what I'd do with ONE million.
with that said: Bungholes, the lot of them.
They still take insider trading seriously. Normally it doesn't make the news because it's "boring". The last major case I can recall was from Martha Stewart. Plus, the investigation was only announced yesterday.GAunderrated said:Yeah "illegal" only applies until you are worth a certain amount. The investors who shorted the financial bubble did so illegally and yet not a single one of them have seen jail time. A bit of a strawman I did there but my point is that these guys know how to play the game so well they are bragging about how they illegally shorted people by inside trading.Covarr said:Yeah. I'm no lawyer, but I'm like 95% sure this is illegal insider trading here. But with the bigwigs gone, I actually have hope that the company can somehow survive this and transform into an honest company no longer under the watchful eye of their scumbag overlord. I'm tired of boycotting Words with Friends.cursedseishi said:Possible insider trading? Pleeeeaaaaaaaase! We know there was insider trading. We know that Mr. Pincus will do any and all sorts of con-artistry just to make a quick buck, seeing as he gladly admits its.
I swear, isn't this a little illegal? It has to be, considering it was just "perfect" timing for all the bigwigs to drop shares for a premium before the prices of it dipped to an all-time low.
P.S. Thanks
