Sexiest Insider Trading Case Ever?!

All the focus is rightly centered on Bernie Madoff's insane $50 billion Ponzi scheme these days, but there is another lower profile insider trading case you may not have heard about.

It all surrounds former Playboy playmate and cover-model (August '94) Maria Checa and her aptly named "Playmate Capital LLC" account.

1440 WallStree.com has the full story with SEC details: http://www.1440wallstreet.com/index.php/site/comments/sec_busts_the_gol…

First Madoff, now we can't even trust Playmates with our money? What is the world coming to?

Jack that was a joke.

Sorry just sucks for those of you in IBD that cant even casually look at a website w/o the fear of something happening. With everything that has happened this year you would think they could be more lax with stuff like that.
