Pick a large company that is information dependent and whose shares have shown significant volatility over the last few months. Then hack its systems, short the share, cause their systems to fail in publicly embarrassing ways, and buy the shares you need at a significant discount. The volatility will make it hard for the regulators to nail you and you can make money first on the price fall, and then on the inevitable rebound - think of it as a criminal win win. United Airlines, for example, meets the target selection criteria, collapsed down to about $35 when its planes sat on the tarmac on June 18th, and recovered to its short term $39+ average by Thursday.
Brand and Whiley shows in competition cons
The BBC has admitted to two fresh phone-in cons, this time involving Russell Brand and Jo Whiley. An edition of Russell Brand's 6 Music radio show was billed as live but it was actually pre-recorded - and a member of staff posed as a competition winner. Listeners of the show who called or texted in to take part in a competition did not have any chance of winning it. Radio 1 star Jo Whiley's show has been found guilty of faking a competition entrant for the second time. On this occasion, production staff made up the name of a competition participant. It occurred three weeks after another fake winner was put on air, an incident which came to light in October last year. .
