Kudos to WSJ on Options Investigation
As yet another fraud investigation ramps up, and executives get fired, and indictments will soon get handed down, the WSJ deserves kudos for the entire backdating of CEO Options mess (See CEO Options: Luck -- or something else?).
They broke the story, and started the whole ball of wax rolling . . . Nicely done.

In the comments, Microcap Speculator correctly points us to Professor Erik Lie of the University of Iowa as the originator of this research.
Nicely done, Prof!

Agreed... it's a shame the WSJ has to do the job of the SEC and other regulatory bodies, but I guess it's really no surprise.
Nice job WSJ. I'm sick of CEO's ripping off the shareholders.
