Get bin Laden On Insider Trading

from the one-thought dept

I heard this story on the news over the weekend, and here it is on the web. Regulators are looking to see if Osama bin Laden's financial folks shorted stocks prior to the attack assuming (correctly) they would drop following such terrorism. So, maybe that's a new strategy for the US to think about. Why go after him for the hard to prove crime of international terrorism when you could get him on insider trading? Maybe the Taleban would turn him over for that.

    You don't have to prove international terrorism, you just have to put a .40 in his skull.
