Scouring Dot Com Wreckage For Wrongdoing
from the catch-the-crooks dept
We've reported on most of "crimes" discussed in this article, but it's a good summary of how officials are looking carefully through the dot com wreckage to see catch frauds and scams especially related to stock transactions. My favorite quote, though, is from well known "insider" reporter Chris Nolan who has had her own experiences with questionable stock trades, saying that the "high-tech beat is now a crime beat".Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
