When assessing the economic damage to due to Paul Thayer and those that he tipped off about the acquisition of Campbell Taggart, it should be noted that some argue that this kind of insider trading circulates information and forces the stock to its “true value.” If we assume this argument to be flawed, then part of Anheuser-Busch stock dip after the announcement was due to the insider trading and the fact Anheuser-Busch probably paid more to acquire its target. Thayer and his friends trade the Campbell stock for nearly a month before any public announcement of the merger.

David Hesmondhalgh claims that, “as the media came to dominate symbol-making in the twentieth century, more and more people have aspired to work in the supposed glamour of the cultural industries” (2013, 83). While creative work and symbolic creation may be “glamorous” for some, Hesmondhalgh reminds us that a greater percentage of individuals wanting to work professionally in the cultural industries have failed in comparison to those who have succeeded (2013, 83). That being said, prior to embarking on a career in the lucrative cultural industries, it is important to research the conditions shaping work in the complex professional era. This essay will analyze the positive and negative aspects of working as a digital journalist to demonstrate how workplace flexibility, stress, precarious labor, limited creativity autonomy, and future job insecurity are defining factors of work for journalists. As

Belfort used illegal means to gain economic wealth, implementing “The Pump-and-Dump” technique and “Ratholes” to dupe his clients and conceal pocketing those client’s funds within the stock trade business. According to Quora, “Pump-and-dump” schemes involve the touting of a company’s stock (typically small, so-called “microcap” companies) through false and misleading statements to the marketplace. Often the promoters would claim to have “inside” information about an impending development and use an “infallible” combination of economic and stock market data to pick stocks. In reality, they were company insiders or paid promoters who stand to gain by selling their shares after the stock price is “pumped” up by the buying frenzy they create. A “Rathole” was a Stratton code word for a nominee, a person who owned shares of stock on paper but was nothing more than a front

Rajaratnam and Chiesi were captured and prosecuted for insider trading. The charges originated from an examination by the USAO into claims that Rajaratnam and Chiesi schemed in insider trading of stock for a few vast organizations. Raj Rajaratnam and Danielle Chiesi claimed a disclosure request issued by a local court within a common trial against them for insider trading documented by the SEC. The local court constrained the respondents to reveal to the SEC the substance of a huge number of wiretapped discussions that were initially gotten by the USAO and were swung over to the accusers within a different criminal trial.

In today’s society crime occurs everyday across all aspects of life. One particular crime is that of white collar and corporate level crime. It is important that we as a society study this type of crime in depth because many individuals believe that white collar and corporate level crimes are victimless crimes when in reality they have the potential to destroy major corporations and economies all with one single case. The news or media rarely talk about this type of crime because it is often difficult to understand and individuals typically lack interest in these types of cases. One particular case is that of Jordan Belfort. Dubbed the infamous “Wolf of Wall Street” Jordan Belfort is a former stockbroker who robbed investors of over $200 million dollars to create his wealth through “pump and dump” schemes, insider trading, money laundering securities fraud, and stock-market manipulation. As an attempt to further understand these complex cases I will break down Belfort’s case as far as the methods and means as to how he got started, his use of “pump and dump” schemes and other means as to how he acquired his wealth. In addition to this I will discuss the sanctions and disciplinary action that Jordan Belfort was given, how the case affected society and what new regulations were

The overwhelming facts point to a shady underworld of self-dealing and opportunistic exploitation of the poor and working class, which was until recently, well hidden from the commoner. The executives of WorldCom and Enron provide real world examples of unethical business practices, where the desire to make money for their shareholders transcended into an addiction to greed and self-dealing that were displayed by their, “excessive pay, perks, and golden parachutes”(Carson 392) at the expense of all stakeholders. All is not lost, there are corporations that pride themselves in their sound business model and commitment to ethical business practices. Such companies as Eaton Corporation, and Weyerhaeuser, who according to Ethisphere.com, a business ethics watchdog, are among the “2010 World`s most ethical companies.” (Ethisphere)
