> Nacchio was convicted by a jury of insider trading. I dont see how the NSA could have arranged that.

I'm not sure what part of identifying the jurors, finding pressure points, and covertly applying pressure you think would be beyond the capabilities of the NSA if they wanted to do it. Or doing the same to Nacchio and/or is counsel, to affect the case that got to the jury.

Not (even a little bit) suggesting that is what happened, just that suggesting it is plausible for the NSA to be able to influence that kind of outcome is not even a tiny stretch.




It is not impossible, you are right. But he admitted to placing the trades.

How do you explain?
