12 Days Before ?08 Crash, Congress was Secretly Told to Sell Off Their Stocks
 Earlier this month, it was reported that less than two weeks before the economic collapse of 2008, several members of Congress took their money out of the stock market. Many high-ranking government employees were given a heads-up about the impending market crash in secret meetings with the Federal Reserve and the Treasury Department. Then they used that information to engage in insider trading. It was revealed that Senator Shelley Capito and her husband sold $350,000 worth of Citigroup stock at $83 per share, just one day before the stock dropped to $64 per share. Another shady trader was Congressman Jim Moran, who had his biggest trading day of the year days after the secret meeting, sellings stock in nearly 100 different companies. These actions would be illegal for any American in any other circumstance, but members of Congress and high-ranking government officials are actually exempt from insider trading laws.

Corrupt politicos...oh noes.
I'd be surprised if they didn't engage in insider trading. But still - that story is written without a lot of verifiable source. |

See, this is just one example of thousands you'll never hear about...of the reason so many people will spend millions, even tens of millions of their own money, to get elected to a job that pays $150k per year. The fringe benefits are out of this world.
Fixing the problems and making the country a better place is the least of their concerns. It should come as no surprise that the country goes to shit because of it. But yeah, who cares. They're making serious bank. See who spent what at the link. https://www.opensecrets.org/bigpictu...php?cycle=2012

If they're not on the "inside" as traders, getting a tip from the inside. Is that illegal?
Immoral, unethical, and corrupt is normal for most politicians. |

The housing market crashed in 07 so anyone could predict banks holding that bad debt would crash too. Nothing Duchovnian about that.
