Stocks n Drugs n FaceBook - USA v. Susser et al

[saba2005]

For anyone interested this is a quote from sussers sentencing memorandum from the prosecutor, I'm sure some might find interesting. It states and I quote

"While the fraud is committed using the anonymous medium of the market, and the Government does not assert that the defendant actively wished harm on any investors, the fact remains that the defendant had to know that unsuspecting investors could be hurt by the promotional campaigns he and other co-conspirators carried out."

This is a bit contradictory one would think since it states "there was no act to wish harm on any investors." Could be the reason why the is
overcriminaliztion in the United States. In fact according to the Libertarian news on June 5th, 2014 about 20 million people have a felony conviction in America.

I will lay odds this will become more of an issue as more and more people become adversely impacted by these numerous laws.
