But think about poor Jon Horvath. He passed along insider tips from an employee at Dell Inc. (DELL) The government called this a crime. Imagine that. Dell and its founder, Michael Dell, committed accounting fraud, if we are to believe what the Securities and Exchange Commission claimed in a 2010 civil lawsuit. Only a fool would trade Dell without inside information. Otherwise the risk of loss is too great because, as the SEC made crystal clear, you can’t believe anything the company says. Yet Horvath is going to jail. And the SEC let Michael Dell stay as Dell’s chief executive officer! He didn’t even admit anything under the settlement. Who does the SEC think this guy is? Steve Jobs? bloomberg.com
