Twitterinlägg kan dra in Icahn i insiderutredning
Donald Trumps rådgivare, miljardären Carl Icahn, kan dras in i en pågående utredning om insiderbrott, där golfklubbsägaren Billy Walters är huvudperson. Enligt Market Watch misstänker åklagare i Manhattan att Icahn 2013 hjälpte Walters att tjäna pengar i Apple – genom ett enda Twitterinlägg.
Enligt åklagarna ska Icahn ha berättat för Walters om att han investerat stort i Apple, strax innan han gick ut med nyheten på Twitter. Icahn nekar till anklagelserna.
