It's a shame his neighbor didn't finish the job.

that was pretty good

Is it REALLY called fucking Gilead? I thought this was a joke at first, holy shit
ScottHitz
I think it’s almost impossible to back the ideology of a guy named Rand Paul.
codeblue4me4
So, the less people take the vaccine, the more COVID there will be. The more doses of remdesiver will be needed. It's expensive I bet
Spice002
And they won't get in trouble by the SEC. Meanwhile, WSB still is on thin ice for Gamestop and AMC.
CurbYourClassWar
Blatant corruption and manipulation and SEC doesn't do a damn thing... I am so fuckin sick of this world we live in...
MassiveMaoMao
I am pro-Rand Paul’s neighbor kicking the shit out of him again.
Bomboque
Undermined trust government? I did not know that was still a thing . . . and I work for the government.
IAmTheEyesAndEarsOfThisInstitutionMyFriends
ButtersTheCat
So the guy who's encouraging people to "rise up" & throw off their masks during COVID, is profiting from people getting sick? Well, I'll be.
KitchenClean
Not really because he’s so dumb. His stock went up $6 since January 2020. If he was smart he would’ve bought Moderna which went up $360.
SoftFur
Surprise. Surprise. The crooks steal and the liars lie. The sun sets before its rise.
allthenamesaregone
And the right wing cucks will defend his right to do it for absolutely no reason other than he's "their guy".
JackTheRippersBrotherHowie
and ill bet NOTHING will be done about it.

Fuck Rand Paul,

Days without Rand Paul being a national embarrassment: 0.

This piece of shit
Djkb6718
It's almost like politicians are money whores or something. Slippery fuckers like him make me sick.
pattalam
What's the amount in question? I can't find it in any of the sources.
Chagrinnish
No more than $15K per the filing. It was an ignorant investment; lost money during a bull market.
RandywithanI
Hoping another neighbor kicks his ass.
DanBranDaMan
I like the guy who punched Rand Paul more and more.
Imalwaysready
You'd think this would lower my opinion of Rand Paul, but what's below the bottom of the barrel?
bubbawasmybestgoodfriend
so that's fraud? that's fraud right?
UnattendedDeviant
Insider trading if he used non-public info he may have received because of his position. But not fraud.
KaoruVanity
It'd be a bit hard to argue non-public information when some news sites were talking about covid in late 2019.
UnattendedDeviant
Not really. They get far more detailed info in classified briefings. Those were being had during that same time.
UnattendedDeviant
Senators in those meeting learn the plan of action but they probably know which companies are part of those plans.
georgejimmydoodle
And that's why he's been working so hard to make as many people sick as possible.
theMayanStallion
Isn't Gilead how it all it starts before we head into Handmaid's Tale territory
PhloydPhan
I trust Rand Paul just as much as I did before this revelation.
zentradipriminister
You and everyone else who voted for him
Rhythmaster
Lol I like how the article says this could "undermine trust in government". Like... yeah, that's what Rand Paul and the whole GOP want...
Rhythmaster
It's been his whole shtick since he first went to Washington...
PunchingPi
His sounds like someone was about to say their real name but cut themselves off with a different one
OperationRustysBlanket
In The good timeline RuPaul is the heir to a political dynasty in Kentucky
PunchingPi
His name*

JAIL. STRAIGHT TO JAIL. WHY CAN’T JAIL BE AN OPTION

Because they have enough money to stay out.... we all know the deal by now.

The gallows would be better.
Grudgebearingmidget
I've said it before, I'll say it again:
GrumpyOldMillennial
Stockades first, a bit of public shaming is desperately needed these days.
Okaybutseriously
To summarize: Noted Anti-vaxxer Rand Paul has been profiting off of treatments that are provided to unvaccinated individuals who catch COVID
Anju42
This explains A LOT!

TheJustOkayGatsby
Apparently he lost money on it. Can't even cheat right.
kamosey
That. Is. Insanity.
sammbalam
This is America
Death83
Yes and I swear, I want to weep at how fucking insane this all is. It literally hurts my head and wrings my mind out.
VolCana
No that's hedging a bet
DeepFriedAndSanctified
Article says she lost money, so not really profiting
sundaymondayhippyday
The person is tried to smother survived doesn’t change the crimes
DeepFriedAndSanctified
Never said it wasn't a crime (although, well, it wasn't) only that the comment was inaccurate, which it was
tr26
Attempted profiting, sure. But you're correct - folks think you're responding to the article and not to the commenter claiming profit.
DeepFriedAndSanctified
The irony is that Gilead was about the only stock that didn't skyrocket last year
zxwaffen
You don't have to succeed at something for it to be a crime.
DeepFriedAndSanctified
Curious, which crime was it? Didn't see anything about ut in the article.
zxwaffen
Trading stocks on non-public information and not disclosing it within 45 days is insider trading, and at least two STOCK act violations.
SordFish909
The Stock Act. It's right there, in the first sentence of the article.
Crimx42
Take all his money and arrest them
itsthevoiceman
All assets and liquidate them.
TacoPoweredHelicopter
They won't do anything... Never do.
strangelyaddicting
Ahhh... But you have to PROVE they did it knowingly and intentionally. That's how he'll get off. Eat. The fucking. Rich.
OverlyUnprotective
Public officials shouldn't be allowed to purchase stock of individual companies - full stop.
OverlyUnprotective
There are mutual funds ETFs, etc that they can use to save for retirement.
RxNoob
They should be required to have all money in a total us or s&p500 fund so their money is tied to the US economy (somewhat anyway)
buttplugconsumer
Is his wife also a public official?
OverlyUnprotective
I mean it's not a bad point that you bring up. Typically conflicts of interest do extend to direct family members.
UnitConversionBotButTerrible
Yes, she is privileged with insider information. She is equally as guilty of breaking the law.
