“Is there some kind of rule which says that whistleblowers can’t or shouldn’t short the company they’re shopping to the government?”
Well the banks are free to short anything they’re peddling to the government or any of their clients, so why shouldn’t whistleblowers have the same privileges? This could be the beginning of a fantastic bank back stabbing market with whistleblowers being recruited by the dozens. With the nearly unlimited fraud going on, this is a whole new market waiting to be utilized. I think Markopolos should incorporate and do an IPO and this could be the start of a whole new business sector, creating more jobs and helping to solve the unemployment problem. How about it Felix?
