Questions arose late last year when it was revealed that Intel's CEO, Brian Krzanich, sold about half his shares in the company. What was odd was that Krzanich was dumping his shares despite the fact that they were projected to go up.
It turns out that in January of 2017, two bugs nicknamed Meltdown and Spectre, were found to be present in chips made by Intel. Although this was known, it wasn't reported to the public until January of 2018. Which means Krzanich sold his shares after knowing about the bugs, but before the public found out.
Thanks to @fortified for posting that LeMagIT, a french tech site, reported that a memo shows Intel planned to release information about the bugs to the OEM (original equipment manufacturer) on November 29, 2017, the same day Krzanich sold his shares.
In light of this new information, we decided to produce a GekeVenn showing the overlap of Intel Corporation with the federal government through Washington's revolving door. Such overlap is often the reason why a corporation can violate regulations without penalty, or with severely lessened consequences.
Love it! It's such a pleasure to meet like-minded people.

It's hard to even imagine more damning evidence of blatant insider trading. I strongly doubt Krzanich was the only perp dumping Intel shares that day.
Thanks!

Pretty interesting evidence, @geke, of the inherent evils of human government.
Let's make up rules and regulations that will make it impossible for the non-initiate to survive and thrive, while we the cognoscenti are well insulated from reality.
Thanks for an interesting Venn diagram... ;)

Funny you should mention that... it's difficult to research Intel corp on the internet because you get a lot of CIA results!
