Looks like a new scandal is brewing. A WSJ article co-written by one of the backdating reporters (Mark Maremont) looks through FAA flight records to find that dozens of jets operated by publicly traded corporations made 30% or more of their trips to or from resort destinations, sometimes more than 50%. Often, these were places ... Corporate jets: the new backdating?
LLCs are not corporations
Nor are they the redundant fictional entity, “limited liability corporations.” This is a lesson that courts and commentators are finally, slowly, learning.

What’s really motivating the pursuit of Google?
I have an op-ed up at Main Justice on FTC Chairman Leibowitz’ recent comment in response the a question about the FTC’s investigation of Google that the FTC is looking for a “pure Section Five case.” With Main Justice’s permission, the op-ed is re-printed here: There’s been a lot of chatter around Washington about ...

Steve Bainbridge responds to my post about insider trading as compensation with a suggestion that rules against insider trading are an example of a case “where mandatory rules are appropriate.” I was about to sputter about laws against insider trading are really about property rights, and surely property should be alienable — right?
