Greed and Capitalism

What kind of society isn't structured on greed? The problem of social organization is how to set up an arrangement under which greed will do the least harm; capitalism is that kind of a system.

Hedge-fund exec gets longest insider trading jail term - Business - CBC News

Hedge-fund exec gets longest insider trading jail term - Business - CBC News: "A former billionaire described by the U.S. government as "the modern face of illegal insider trading" was sentenced Thursday to 11 years in prison — the longest insider trading sentence ever but far short of the two decades sought by prosecutors.

Galleon Group founder Raj Rajaratnam also was fined $10 million US and ordered to forfeit $53.8 million by U.S. District Judge Richard J. Holwell, who said he concluded that Rajaratnam made well over $50 million in profits from his illegal trades."
