There was a story in the WSJ that ran about the Clinton Global administrations donation of 2 million dollars to a for profit company with ties to Clinton friends and the DNC.
In the wikileaks email found below Andrew Tobias the current DNC treasurer he admits to having invested 1 million of his own money in the company for personal profit:
>PS – I own a chunk of the company in question: I’ve put in more than $1 million (a small fortune to me), hoping to profit from making old homes more energy-efficient with better insulation, caulking and stuff like that. We may or may not succeed, but isn’t it a good thing that we’re trying? I thought the Wall Street Journal applauded private enterprise.
How do we tell when he donated? If he donated before hand is it evidence of insider trading or graft? If he donated afterwards is it evidence of corruption within the party. I personally don't know much about investments or laws concerning them so any help would be greatly appreciated.
shameless self bump, too many shill/habbening threads

Has anybody ever really considered apathy to be a virtue? I mean besides edgelord atheists?
John Rodriguez
I believe the great philosopher is being tongue and cheek by calling both virtues
Ryan Phillips
You mean tongue-in-cheek?
Yeah I guess something could get lost in translation after 2400 years
Ethan Butler
Finance fag here. What's the name of the company? Can't read the wsj article.

Mr. Clinton also personally endorsed the company, Energy Pioneer Solutions Inc., to then-Energy Secretary Steven Chu for a federal grant that year, said people with knowledge of the endorsement.
Don't know when grant was issued. Chu retired on April 22, 2013. The first offering in 2010 of $400k is the only stock issue that falls within his time as secretary. The $800k would be more than double the value of the shares!
Wyatt Cruz
Need to clarify, this is the $800k grant issues by the Energy Department.
Ethan Russell
Diogenese perhaps?
Neat guy, but I don't think we'd have much of a society if we were all like Diogenese. He's just one of those freeloading philosophers that helps drive philosophy in general while everybody else does the work to make society continue on.
Thomas Mitchell
find anything about Andrew Tobias' investment though? The WSJ article was about the grants and stuff, I want to know about the personal investment of the dnc chair
pretty sure cfg has that one, thank you tho user bookmarked just in case
Julian King
Well, it was only 5% according to the article. I had wrote a big piece on it before my browser backed off randomly and ate it. But basically Julie Tauber McMahon, Clinton's mistress, owns part of this company. My guess is that this is a hush money company for McMahon and that Andrew is just taking his small cut to facilitate getting federal grants.
Thomas Wood
did the article mention when the investment was made? pre/post grant
Alexander Diaz
if this is true, what could the outcome be?
Landon Lee
criminal charges against dnc treasurer for what amounts to fraud/insider trading, if he invested before the grant came through
This shows the official award for the grant was August 19, 2010, before the other grant. The company was founded in 2009, so I am not sure how much was invested.
Lincoln Jackson
is there anyplace that would list personal investments like the 1m from anthony, or would his tax returns show the investment? I'm trying to place the timing of when he invested in the company
Evan Jones
Good find user.
Carter Carter
Not sure desu. I don't know if he would be required to report it if he is not receiving income. It is setup as a corporation so I don't know if they have to do a report to anyone. I sure they do.
yeah, shit nothing about individual investments, is it a publicly traded stock? If not I'm just gonna call them posing as a journalist tomorrow
Evan Johnson
Wouldn't be a public stock. I think at this point it is behind the paywall. Maybe calling the Nebraska business bureau would be able to help with getting that info. It seems you'll have to spend some money though.
The only other note is the founder was paying himself $60k initially, but that doesn't seem odd. Also, none of the later filings disclose revenue.
