You have yet to show any evidence that Sonny has been in bed, ie getting kickbacks, from using Maxim. Without which you have no basis for a claim of corruption from the companies side. There has been illegal.conduct on the part of the hedge funds. While I have trouble believing Maxim wasnt aware all thoae hedge funds work together in a conspiratorial manner, thats not enough to establish Maxim has been working with them. Its possible however given how they have turned a blind eye on some illegal trading. I still await for any hard evidence from you Joe and not just you alluding to illegal conduct .
