ok, screw it - this will take forever and these historical quotes on otc stocks are a pain to find. lets just say he averaged 25% per trade. Mr. Left would now be worth $3,848,781,182.53. Yup, thats 3.8 BILLION, with a B. Ok, I'd bet there was the occasional hooker and crack rocks, but you get the idea. They claimed that they only missed once, and they cut a 440m dollar market cap stock (HOM) in half in one day. These guys have some serious bank behind them.

From Websters.com:

ill-gotten gains
"Benefits obtained in an evil manner or by dishonest means, as in They duped their senile uncle into leaving them a fortune and are now enjoying their ill-gotten gains. [Mid-1800s]"

Shall I quote some case law? Ok, I shall:
From a 1998 case in California (http://caselaw.lp.findlaw.com/cgi-bin/getcase.pl?court=9th&navby=case&no=9910404)

"In United States v. Stoddard, 150 F.3d 1140, 1147 (9th Cir.1998), this court implicitly considered whether restitution ofprofits from lost corporate opportunities was authorized by the VWPA. In Stoddard , the defendant, an official of a sav-ings bank, misappropriated $30,000 from an escrow account and used the money to fund two real estate purchases. 150F.3d at 1142-43. The defendant later sold the properties at a profit. Id. The district court ordered restitution in the amount of $116,223, apparently encompassing the defendant's profits from the real estate transactions."

Think the former Detour Board would like to hear about this?
