              BW has been indicted 6 times, never convicted of a crime. He'll beat this one, too.

                Your right...and I would tend to agree...BUT we all would agree that the FBI and Gov are out to get him...and with their resources, I would not bet against them!

                        Billy Walters can not be as smart as I thought, because anyone with a brain would know that it is very easy to catch simple insider trading nowadays - the regulators are alerted to trading anomalies in the markets by their bots almost instantaneously.

                                      It doesn't look good for Billy. When someone on the Board of Directors of a public company and is a degen gambler and owes you a lot of money, calls you the day before you place huge trades on seven different occasions and they all go your way, tough to explain those away.

                                            Billy W is a world-renowned predictor of markets. He's probably the most influential sports bettor in history. His defense in this case will rest on his skill set. He smelled a deal coming up and analyzed Dean Foods as a bargain, a buy....and it paid off. That's how he makes his living. It may be hard to prove that his investment activity here was illegal.

                                                      I see. Thank you.

                                                      But how would you track someone down who does this? There must be a lot of people in this world that has valuable information. How come they don't get caught?
