Synopsis
?The story of a friendship that started in law school and ended with the largest insider trading scandal in Canadian history, this eye-opening chronicle reveals for the first time how Gil Cornblum and Stan Grmovsek worked together to rip off Wall Street and Bay Street for over $10 million. Cornblum would scout around his law offices in the middle of the night, looking for confidential information on mergers or takeovers. When he found something, he would tip off Grmovsek, who would make the stock market trades that would gain them illegal profits. From the joint investigation by the Ontario Securities Commission, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, and the FBI, to Cornblum's resultant suicide and Grmovsek's 39-month prison sentence, Tip and Trade covers the double lives of the twosome and their inevitable downfall. First-person interviews, conducted with Grmovsek from prison, give insight into what case prosecutors called a classic "Hollywood" insider trading tragedy., After a seemingly endless series of corporate scandals, and the stockmarket crash of late 2008, many people are cynical about the stock market and the economy - and this book shows them why such cynicism is completely justified.

Gil Cornblum and Stan Grmovsek were fast friends in law school. Together, they ripped off Wall Street and Bay Street for over $10 million, by preying on the trust of Cornblum's legal clients and his employers. Their illegal profits were huge, but the tragedy of their inevitable downfall was even bigger., Tip and Trade is the story of a friendship that starts in law school and ends with the largest insider trading scandal in Canadian history.

    The book arrived swiftly packaged in a protective plastic envelope, but it was a paperback not hardcover as listed. I contacted seller and they apologized, refunded me and suggested several things to do with the book after allowing me to keep it. I have gone ahead and ordered a hardcover from the same seller. I’m a repeat customer and hope to remain so. This mixup was a first, but I’m very impressed with their prompt response and professionalism. Kudos :)
