Teflon Carl also benefited handsomely from that insider trading with whatever money he could scrape together. He even tried to pass the tip around to his inner circle at the MCPO.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-30674908658600936022015-01-24T14:19:20.306-05:002015-01-24T14:19:20.306-05:00Durham boasted of making more than $30 million tra...Durham boasted of making more than $30 million trading Brightpoint stock during a 1-year period starting back in 2002 when he first acquired Fair Finance. Brightpoint's stock was trading well below a dollar a share at the time and in danger of being delisted. According to the bankruptcy trustee, Durham used funds borrowed from Brightpoint to invest in the company's stock, along with a group of others. The trustee said the only other active trader in Brightpoint's stock at that time was Bernie Madoff. After the stock price dramatically increased, they dumped it, causing the stock price to precipitously drop. Of course, it later recovered, but the company's stock price was obviously being manipulated more than normal market conditions would have allowed. Gary R.

Just asking. <br /><br />Tim obviously used everyone around him as much as they used him. He must have an extremely low ego to need to brag and put on a show. <br /><br />I thought it a little shameful that the has been model laughed at everything knowing about all the victims. It seems Tim left victims everywhere he went.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-69567779059720229542015-01-23T18:40:41.176-05:002015-01-23T18:40:41.176-05:00I thought the episode did a great job of painting ...I thought the episode did a great job of painting Durham and his closest business partners of being absolute scumbags. I watch this show often and it is truly scary how many scumbags out there have done the same... I've never seen a rerun! <br />No doubt Durham was further enabled by politicians and other elitists but that was really beyond the scope of this episode. Keep it simple and don't confuse the audience, otherwise folks might think Durham was a scapegoat and others were really to blame. He gave hundreds of thousands of dollars to campaigns, and I doubt that was just because of his desire to impress. Maybe things would change if we had an electorate that was (a) capable of connecting the dots on their own and (b) cares enough to do something about it! <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-79692317375835750602015-01-23T09:10:16.718-05:002015-01-23T09:10:16.718-05:00Justice is different for different people in Mario...Justice is different for different people in Marion County, in Indiana, in America.

Wrong doers or criminals must be portrayed as Rogues who some how slipped through the seams. The Rogue is caught, but the "System" works or so we are told.
