Intel Corp (INTC)

[imho]

mas,

think he just likes to be proud and talk and probably didn't realize the significance of what he was doing.

I tend to agree with you here. He has made some "off the cuff" remarks in the past. Also, as FCGuy pointed out, he was leading on the outside world with the "deal is imminent". He just cracked.

It's not going to be much of a defence but it's probably the truth.

As of now, he has not been charged. It is just an embarrassment.

IMHO
