From the article:
"About the same time of the contract award, Mr. Blum's private investment firm reported to the Securities and Exchange Commission that it and related affiliates had purchased more than 10 million new shares in CBRE. The shares were purchased for the going price of $3.77; CBRE's stock closed Monday at $5.14."

Mr. Blum is Feinstein's husband. So, if my math is correct, Blum's investment firm bought 10 million shares at $3.77/sh ($37.7MM) and these same shares are now worth $5.14/sh ($51.4MM), or a tidy profit of some $13MM+. Sweet. Well, it pays to know people.

I still have visions of her "Al Haig" moment in late 1978 when San Francisco Mayor Moscone and Supervisor Milk got shot: The bodies weren't even cold and she was holding a press conference announcing that she was in charge.

God, I revile that woman.

I think the avidavids that she didnt know what he was doing, he didnt know what she was doing, and he didnt know what his firm was doing but decided to buy millions in stock is just to much. I laughed my ass off at that. Do people actually believe this stuff, or do they just not wanna get in a fight about this kinda crap?

This is priceless. Funny how little coverage it is receiving. Equally funny that we have another thread where people are upset about unethical realtor behavior in short sales and foreclosures. Well if the government is going to condone this kind of behavior, then why shouldn't they condone it at every level?

Good thing our top leaders are so ethical.

Change!

Don't steal, cheat, and act unethical....The government and congressmen hate competition. :)

Unbelievable, nope believable. Obama was wrong....we are already transparent. It is just that no action is taken, and that is what is really scary.
