Interesting issue, but outside of the Standard's scope


Think so? The Internet economy IS the economy these days. If JP Morgan were put on the front page of the NY Times with some sort of scandal, imagine what that would do Wall Street, and the NASDAQ. Could have a ripple effect.

I'd be willing to see how this played out if the community wants to bet on it.


Sure, but everything, including the proverbial butterfly flapping its wings in Brazil, has a ripple effect on the internet economy. Bear Stearns insider trading charges are a Financial Services/Regulatory issue, not an internet economy one, IMO.


I agree with Garrick.
