The Markit Group: A Black-Box Company that Devastated Markets
Did a little mystery company in London help hedge funds crash the markets?
Someday I may SAC up and be more explicit about the Sith Lord
Followers of the twisted tale of DeepCapture may remember that on August 12, 2005, I gave a webcast of which I will always remain proud. It was titled, "The Miscreant's Ball".
SAC Capital linked to insider trading? Who knew!
As you encounter conversations on this topic in the days to come, it is a good opportunity to point out that Deep Capture published irrefutable evidence of insider trading at short selling hedge funds SAC Capital, Kynikos Associates and Third Point Partners almost one year ago.

DTCC caught covering-up
16 April 2008 by Judd Bagley
There has been much speculation as to the root of Gary Weiss’s abiding interest in the personalities voicing their objections to the practice of illegal naked short securities trading. In February of 2007, some felt that question was answered in the form of a minor yet tremendously significant incident from which it could be fairly deduced that Weiss was, on the morning of January 19, 2007, using a computer on the network of the Depository Trust and Clearing Corporation (DTCC).

16 April 2008 by Judd Bagley

Gary Weiss: the root of his problem (Part III)
16 April 2008 by Judd Bagley
Preface and editor’s note: AntiSocialMedia.net has issues with Gary Weiss, not his wife. As is happens, one of the more startling examples of abuse of social media we’ve discovered anywhere – and the central theme of this, the third part of this series on Gary Weiss – cannot be told without making reference to that [...]

Gary Weiss: the root of his problem (Part II)
16 April 2008 by Judd Bagley
Let’s start by re-stating three key facts as established in Part One. In June of 1995, Gary Weiss told the world that his personal email address was garywbw@aol.com. Gary would go on to use that account to identify himself when posting on Usenet newsgroups for the next 10 years. Primary among those newsgroups [...]

Gary Weiss: the root of his problem (Part I)
16 April 2008 by Judd Bagley
When attempting to understand the nature of a specific pathology, it’s wise to seek information about its origins in the context of the subject’s history. This is the first of a four part series on the origins of the pathology apparently afflicting our subject, Gary Weiss. This pathology is manifest as a compulsion to invent false [...]

The Susan Antilla method
16 April 2008 by Judd Bagley
Preface: A word about the law and the press. It’s safe to say that, thanks to the protections rightly granted journalists in the Bill of Rights, almost nobody ever successfully sues a reporter. The standard of proof is too high and the weight of case law too overwhelming for even blatantly egregious cases to succeed [...]

How not to respond to a subpoena by the SEC
16 April 2008 by Judd Bagley
Take a trip with me, back to early 2006. On January 7, Jordan Goldstein, general counsel of TheStreet.com, pronounced that company co-founder Jim Cramer had never sold a single share of TSCM stock. Exactly one month later, Jim Cramer announces, via the adoption of a rule 10b5-1 plan, his intention to exercise 150,000 stock options over the [...]

Sam Antar and Gary Weiss pile absurdity upon absurdity
16 April 2008 by Judd Bagley
As any engineer will attest, the key to an enduring structure is a solid foundation. Builders who choose not to worry about foundation issues will deliver a product that’s worthless at best, and a dangerous liability at worst. Likewise, arguments crafted without a foundation amount to something ranging from worthless to dangerous. In both cases, the motives [...]
