You’re telling me that Seinfeld, a show about nothing, was really about securities? Elaine: Get out! Kramer: Giddy-up! Jackie Chiles (the most prominent attorney on Seinfeld) (which isn’t saying much): What Mr. Seinfeld and Ms. Benes are saying, with the able assistance of Mr. Kramer, is this: If you watch this super, stellar, stupendous show with care and calculated calibration, but not with callousness, you too will see that reality. Indeed, in fact, indubitably, Ms. Benes will provide an example. Elaine: See, there was one episode called, “The Stock Tip,” and, yada yada yada, Jerry loses his investment, but George makes a killing. Crazy, right? George: Worlds are colliding! Jerry: Yeah, I guess you could say that.1 Everyone knows that Seinfeld, which premiered 31 summers ago, was one of the most popular television sitcoms ever. It was on the airwaves (remember those?) for nine years, nominated for 68 Emmy Awards, winning ten times, including twice for Outstanding Writing in a Comedy Series, winning twice.2 It was self-identified as a “show about nothing.”3 Indeed, co-creator Larry David “admonished the writing staff that there would be ‘no hugging, no learning’ in the scripts, and there wasn’t.

Elaine: Why? Newman: To prevent an ambush. Kramer: Yeah, so now I can peek to see if anyone is waiting to jack me with a sock full of pennies. Jerry: But then anyone can just look in and see you. Kramer: Our policy is, we're comfortable with our bodies. You know, if someone wants to help themselves to an eyeful, well, we say "Enjoy the show." -from “The Reverse Peephole” Jerry: His name is Joel Horneck.

  • The Misappropriation Theory of Insider Trading: Its Past, Present, and Future
    The Misappropriation Theory of Insider Trading: Its Past, Present, and Future Troy Cichos* I. INTRODUCTION It happens all the time, without a second thought. People on the golf course, at the weekly card game, or at a backyard barbecue, pass on hot stock tips to friends and relatives. If asked about the possibility of violating insider trading laws, the following responses would be typical: "It could never happen to me," and "it's only a problem for large, powerful investors." These responses, while typical, are wrong. Just ask Carl Reiter. One day on the golf course, one of Reiter's oldest friends advised him to buy stock in Revco Drug Stores; the friend knew "the guy doing the deal."' Reiter, a real estate developer, invested a few thousand dollars in the stock, made a profit of $2,625 in two months, and thought the investment was over. It was not. Two years later, one of Reiter's golfing partners got a phone call from a person claiming to be an investigator for the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The friend's response was "yeah, right, and I'm Ivan Boesky." The person was an investigator, and Reiter and the other golfers who acted on the stock tip were charged with violating insider trading laws.2 Reiter eventually disgorged his profits resulting from the tip and paid a fine of the same amount.' Reiter was shocked that the powerful SEC was concerned about his small investment and that insider trading laws applied to such conduct. The actions of the SEC in this case, however, are not unusual.
