Scottrade

was just joking about the idea of using confidential information to make a quick buck, but the SEC didn't find it all that funny.

Probably because less than a day later, Hannell deposited $28,000 into his Scottrade account and bought 831 shares of Hewitt for $34.25 a share.

Five days later, when the merger was announced, he sold everything for a $10,000 profit.

Oh, that's like not that like I know 10 grand is a lot of money, but like it's not that much for what they're committing.

Um, I started learning about options very early on.

I remember I opened an account with Scottrade, was the first online brokerage back in the day, I think, a really long time ago.

Uh, so that would've been the, that would've been, like, 25 years ago.

Yeah.
