This ironic failure will repeat. Giving information asymmetry to an individual and placing trust in them because they have a doctorate is the old model. The economic incentive to cheat is high and the punishment is low. He’d be dumb not to entertain it. systemic

Haha wow that is ironic

The old 'Fox guarding the hen house' again!

Beastlyorion And he looks exactly like Tim Cook. Coincidence? I think not.

xtrixcyclex Why post a picture of Tim Cook with this headline? How about the Apple logo or a picture of the lawyer?

😂😂

Davidlaz Shocked I tell you!!!

Tim Cook response.... “Wait, what?”

cannot get better than this

He will be joining the Trump legal team soon

Haha!

Davidlaz Didn’t we already do this story?

Eating of the fat of the lamb, while looking out for the wolves?

Lifes tough

LOL NOW CHECK THOSE MARKET MAKERS TRADING FACEBOOK! THOSE INSTITUTIONS -MANIPULATION 100% WE SHOULD BE TRADING MUCH HIGHER AND WE WILL AFTER ER.

Not shocked that someone would do it but I am surprised someone at $AAPL would considering the type of compensation their execs receive. Note that he wasn't a reporting insider so his legal trades were not publicly disclosed. But he did sign & file the company's Form 4s.

And he didn't even play options. Just shares. If you're going to break the law...

What about W.B? They both admitted he got the call. W.B gave the advice Cook said ok W.B bought the stock W.B talked his book after purchase. Stock took off like a rocket. All on video.

Opps Needs to run for Congress first

Why else would you take this position?

If he’s guilty lock him up

Irony.

It takes a thief to catch a thief to catch a thief...

Paging Alanis Morissette
