Some Stories for Tuesday

 It is good riddance to bad rubbish when the president of Iran died in a helicopter crash, at least those are the feelings of the women who live under that oppressive regime.

 Obituary: Ivan Boesky, inside trader whose career went down in scandal back in the  1980s, has died.  His daughter reported he died in his sleep.

Snip:

Nicknamed “Ivan the Terrible” on a 1986 Time Magazine cover, Boesky profited from the corporate takeover boom in the 1980s, using insider information to receive advanced information on pending deals.

When investigators began catching whiff of his activities, along with that of “junk bond king” Michael Milken, he agreed to cooperate with the federal government as they investigated insider trading on Wall Street, which had become a concern for the SEC by the early 1980s.

He recorded calls and meetings, including with Milken, and taught investigators about stock manipulation, takeover bids and corporate raids, according to the SEC Historical Society.
