"Going by memory: 18 US Title Code 1001. Martha Stewart, Bernard Madoff and Jeffrey Skilling are a few who were convicted under the code."

Martha Stewart, Bernard Madoff and Jeffrey Skilling made false statements to government officials during the course of official investigations.


"18 US Title Code 1001" prohibits the making of a false statement in any matter within the jurisdiction of the executive, legislative, or judicial branch of the Government of the United States.
Bozo's press releases aren't covered by that rule, which you initially described as the "material effects clause in trading rules", a clause that doesn't exist.

You're a lawyer?


I was given that information....I don't know.
