Shocking: Former Amazon analyst fed frat brother insider info A former financial analyst at Amazon.com pled guilty on Thursday to securities fraud for helping a former fraternity brother trade Amazon stock based on insider information. Brett D Kennedy, 26, a resident of Blaine, Washington, acknowledged that in April 2015 he provided confidential financial information – Amazon's Q1 2015 …
And don't know who to trust. Reading the link on Rezakhani, his initial fraud was unbelievably stupid, and doomed to failure from the outset, and he did several other identitwat frauds - read it if you haven't, there's so many levels on which he was bound to be caught out that its rather comic.

Yup. From TFA: "Mr Kennedy was little more than a kid (24) at the time of the incident, in 2015. He exercised very poor judgment in this case" He certainly did.
Um, he was of voting age, legal drinking age and marrying age in every state of the Union. He also has the right to drive a two-ton mass of metal and plastic on public roads.

He made a stupid decision, and I'm glad that he owned up to it and I wish him the best for his future, but please don't try the mewling maudlin kiddie angle.
His biggest mistake was taking on Wall Street without realizing that only professional crooks have the right to have fun there.
Indeed. As anyone who has read "flash boys" would know.
