Lawyering (Points for...Honesty?)

We cringed at THIS embarrassment. Honestly, we could snark about this until the cows come home but there's really not much more we can add. Answer here for the non-litigators.

Speaking of lawyering, we thought this bit about insider trading was interesting and serves as a cautionary tale to those who are uber-cavalier about talking themselves up. You know the types. There are industry folks who are so insecure that they feel the need to constantly show off what deals they are working on. Makes good cocktail party conversation. But, a number of these companies have publicly traded equity or securities. While the insider trading laws are murky and ever-changing, we're pretty sure that industry folks don't want to find themselves on the other side of an investigation. Moreover, we're guessing that, at least in a few instances, the mere disclosure is a breach of attorney-client privilege. So, don't do that.
