Redskin212 Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Ironic that the promotion was released the same day as Steve Cohen is finally charged by the SEC. SEC charges SAC Capital's Steven A. Cohen for failing to prevent insider trading by employees http://www.cnbc.com/id/100889063 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parsad Posted July 20, 2013 Author Share Posted July 20, 2013 Ironic that the promotion was released the same day as Steve Cohen is finally charged by the SEC. SEC charges SAC Capital's Steven A. Cohen for failing to prevent insider trading by employees http://www.cnbc.com/id/100889063 Coincidence? I think not! Paul was on the front lines with the whole short attack and ensuing lawsuit. The best story I have about all of that was I received a subpoena from Fairfax's attorney, Kasowitz Benson, because I had bought the www.premwatsa.com domain name when it became available. Kasowitz Benson thought that it was still under the control of whichever hedgie had put up that attack website. I had to call Paul up and say, I bought the domain name when it became available, so that no one could put up another website...but that they could have the domain name if they wanted. He said, "Oh geez sorry, I'll take care of it!" And that was that...no more subpoena and the beginning of a friendship...plus I got to keep the domain name! Cheers!
