Mathew Martoma Got a Lot of E-Mails

By

So his lawyer gets 90 more days to read them.

Stillman said he has received at least 17,000 pages of evidence from the government in recent days. He held up a folder he estimated to be about six inches thick, which he said represented the number of e-mails Martoma exchanged and received in a single day of work at SAC’s CR Intrinsic Investors in Stamford, Connecticut.

    Good thing it won't take him much time to get through your DB posts. Which, pay the way, when are those going to stop?

    I'm starting to think that Shazar is some sort of sock puppet.

    Why does everyone hate on Shazar? Did he pull a Kouwe or something?

    Is incompetence a sufficient answer?

    Matt can you please work out how many years it would take Shazar to fill 17,000 pages at his current pace?

    Don't point those loaded comments at Shazar, he's an unpaid intern.

    17000 * .25 Lawyer hours to read each * $200 grunt junior lawyer/hour = $850,000. Way to go to get him to disgorge his bonus, judge!
