Do you in America have such household helpers who can help you make moolah even as they provide invaluable service such as cleaning, take out the garbage, mind the kids, or doing reflexology?

Kathryn Gannon, a former X-rated actress also known as Marylin Star, fled to Vancouver after securities regulators alleged she used inside tips from her investment banker boyfriend to make illegal stock trades. Gannon, 30, is considered a fugitive.

Gannon's former lover, James McDermott, 48, is the main defendant. He was a married executive who ran the Wall Street firm Keefe, Bruyette and Woods when he met Gannon in a strip bar in 1996. He has since been forced to resign from the company.

Securities regulators say McDermott passed information about upcoming bank mergers to Gannon, who then used the tips to make $88,000 US in trading profits.

Investigators also allege Gannon passed on the tips to another boyfriend, Anthony Pomponio, who also faces insider trading charges.

Yes, but only during bubbles. Plenty of stories of NY city doorman, taxi drivers, etc., with hot tips that did great during our last market boom. Usually thought of as a decent sign of a coming top..
