I can see from the diverse opinions expressed here about the actual criminality of the kid's activity that this debate needs to be more widespread. I hope the Times article generates more discussion nationally.

My second impression is that there must something terribly wrong with his parents, and thus the kid may never have a chance to learn right from wrong. But I have to admit any sense of outrage for those who were foolish enough to by those stocks after reading his posts still eludes me. I will, however, hold out the possibility that I'm simply missing part of the point...
