"Insider reveals UK traders' dirty tricks http://business.theage.com.au/insider-reveals-uk-traders-dirty-tricks/20080321-20x3.html A HEDGE fund based in London set up a "dirty tricks unit" to manipulate share prices and get illicit information on companies in an attempt to make millions on the stock market, an insider has revealed. London's Daily Telegraph has published a whistleblower's account of how a major international fund allegedly used illegal tactics to drive down stock prices." Old news above, any comments?
What's so illegal about it ?? Anyone has the right to buy or sell securities. Its not like they forced a gun to the head and made others buy and sell stocks. Free market, free stocks..
