I'll be damned, people actually went to jail The DuPont, Homsey case—unlike the crisis at Haupt—involved fraud. The Boston firm's senior partner, Anton E. Homsey, was expelled from the exchange for pledging the securities of clients without their knowledge. He was later imprisoned and his firm liquidated. Today criminals get a slap on the wrist and a billion $$$$$$ fine wallstreetonparade.com Looks like a fun read!!

olive oil swindles in Italy go back to Caesar's time Google sucks. ========================================== ‘Free Karen Read’ billboard goes up ahead of hearing in murder case Nancy Lane/Boston Herald Karen Read billboard on Route 1 in Foxboro. (Nancy Lane/Boston Herald) By FLINT MCCOLGAN \| flint.mccolgan@bostonherald.com \| PUBLISHED: September 14, 2023 at 7:21 p.m. \| UPDATED: September 14, 2023 at 7:28 p.m. A new billboard not far from Gillette Stadium in Foxboro aims to capture the attention of the few in Greater Boston who haven’t been following the case of Karen Read, the Mansfield woman accused of killing her boyfriend with her car on a snowy night in January of last year. Read’s case has been quite the talker first in Greater Boston, when she was lugged into court just days after the body of her boyfriend, Boston Police Officer John O’Keefe, was discovered by responding police on the front yard of 34 Fairview Road in Canton. Read and two other women were attempting to breathe life and warmth into the cold, mangled O’Keefe a little after 6 a.m. on Jan. 29, 2022. The case, which has become popular enough that the doors to the Norfolk Superior Court room where its hearings have taken place were left open at the last hearing to accommodate onlookers who couldn’t grab a bench in time, is back on Friday morning for what is sure to be another motions fight based on recent filings in the case. Those include defense requests for public snowplow GPS data and information on a Google Nest security camera at the home as well as the prosecution’s ask for full footage from a recent Read interview. The dueling defense and prosecution theories of how O’Keefe died, argued over in an extraordinarily busy court docket and in heated hearings at the court in Dedham have expanded public interest far beyond our region and into the national spotlight. Prosecutor Adam Lally — with a shockingly rare assist from Norfolk DA Michael Morrissey himself in the form of a publicly distributed video statement decrying trolling or speculation from increasingly vocal outside observers — has posited that Read, drunk and angry at O’Keefe, struck him with her car, busting the taillight, and left him to die in the frigid air that January night which would see blizzard-like snowfall. Defense attorneys David Yannetti and Alan Jackson have posited that Read, a finance lecturer at Bentley University with no criminal record now left without a job and with legal bills mounting at an unsustainable rate, is a scapegoat for some kind of cover-up — they’re mounting a third-party culprit defense. They say the owner of the home where O’Keefe died, Brian Albert — himself a Boston Police sergeant — and his sister-in-law Jennifer McCabe are the ones truly culpable in O’Keefe’s death. Both Albert and McCabe have lawyered up; their respective attorneys Greg Henning and Kevin Reddington both served up motions to quash evidence fingering their clients which they say are red herrings, present at each hearing, and also listed to be notified for each filing. While Judge Beverly J. Cannone denied prosecutor Lally’s motion to gag attorneys from speaking and sharing unfiled information with outsiders on July 31, Lally appears to be using the outside attention to some kind of evidential advantage, based on a motion from the first of this month to get the raw, whole footage of an nationally broadcast interview with Read “I did not kill John O’Keefe. I have never harmed a hair on John O’Keefe’s head,” Read said in the interview on ABC News’ Nightline program broadcast on Aug. 22, which also highlights the defense theory of a cover-up, which the program called “bare-knuckled and bold.” The broadcast portion of the interview lasts nine minutes and 37 seconds, but prosecutors think there is probably much more left on the cutting-room floor, and maybe some of that other material could damn the defendant. So they want it all, raw and unedited. “Video of the defendant’s statements is material and relevant to the defendant’s involvement in and culpability for the murder of John O’Keefe,” Lally wrote. “The defendant voluntarily gave this interview knowing that under Massachusetts Rules of Evidence, any statements made would be admissible in the Commonwealth’s case against her.”
