I am disappointed that the author of this article, Robin Alperstein, did not disclose to her readers that she is a lawyer who represents hedge funds and other financial companies. For shame. Ms. Alperstein, if you had any integrity, you would have honestly stated what you do for a living. From her company’s website: “…She represents domestic and international clients on a range of issues, including corporate governance matters and shareholder disputes, securities fraud, insider trading, short selling, market manipulation, fraudulent conveyance, employment, and unfair completion matters, including antitrust, theft of trade secrets and non-competition agreements.”
Someone who represent hedge funds facing insider trading charges is not the best person to critique a presidential candidate whose platform is primarily based on wealth inequality and American workers’ rights.
