Following on from the story I posted about PR men slipping money to politicians in return for favors, a “PR” consultant (the BBC’s description not mine) has been found guilty of insider trading in the UK. The consultant, Tim Blackstone, has enjoyed a number of “customer service” positions during his career as a former journalist with the UK Sunday Times and a porn actor.
According to the BBC story, Mr Blackstone was fined �1,000, ordered to pay �16,000 prosecution costs and told to hand over the �3,000 profit he had made on the shares.
