Lee,
Why it falls to me to expose the ERRORS on this thread I do not know. But I will tell you that for this
ERROR you should send this link to the PA SUPREME COURT.

Lee-You rely on Rick for legal interpretation, does he fill your teeth too?
You revealed the error in your thinking when you said,
"I think my point should have been obvious. Considering your
background, there is every reason to believe that your interest in this stock is
more than that of an ordinary stockholder. Rick has pointed out that if you
work for CCC you would be required not to reveal that fact."
Rick is as inaccurate in interpreting law as a map of Hong Kong would be to get
around New York city.
I said I do not represent CCEE. That is a fact.
With no evidence, Rick implies I am not telling the truth, and further that all lawyers
have a duuty to lie under the Rules of Professional Responsibility/ He claims
(erroneously and stupidly) that the Rules would require me to lie if CCEE were indeed
my client and if CCEE asked me to lie.
That is unadulterated garbage. In fact the contrary is true. Set forth below ids the
pertinent provision in Pennsylvania,
RULES OF PROFESSIONAL CONDUCT
Rule 4.1 Truthfulness in Statements to Others
In the course of representing a client a lawyer shall not knowingly :
(a) make a false statement of material fact or law to a third person.
In other words, Rick is once again full of crap. Rely on him at your own risk.

This is called a LIE of omission. THE POSTER DID NOT TELL YOU THERE IS A "(b)"

Rule 4.1 Truthfulness in Statements to Others
In the course of representing a client a lawyer shall not knowingly:
(a) make a false statement of material fact or law to a third person; or
(b) fail to disclose a material fact to a third person when disclosure is necessary to avoid assisting a criminal or fraudulent act by a client, unless disclosure is prohibited by Rule 1.6.

IN OTHERWORDS LEE IF THIS PERSON IS AN ATTORNEY AND NOW I WONDER
THAT POST WAS PERHAPS A VIOLATION OF RULE 4.1
=================
Rule 1.6 Confidentiality of Information
(a) A lawyer shall not reveal information relating to representation of a client unless the
client consents after consultation, except for disclosures that are impliedly authorized in
order to carry out the representation, and except as stated in paragraph (b).

necessary:
(1) to prevent the client from committing a crime, including disclosure of the intention to
commit a crime; or
