Ivan Frederick Boesky (born March 6, 1937 in Detroit, Michigan) was notable for his prominent role in a Wall Street insider trading scandal that occurred in the United States in the mid-1980s. Boesky was born to a Russian-Jewish family. He is a graduate of the Michigan State University College of Law (formerly Detroit College of Law).
By 1986, Ivan Boesky had become an arbitrageur who had amassed a fortune of about US$200 million by betting on corporate takeovers. He was investigated by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for making investments based on tips received from corporate insiders. These stock acquisitions were sometimes brazen, with massive purchases occurring only a few days before a corporation announced a takeover.
Although insider trading of this kind was illegal, laws prohibiting it were rarely enforced until Boesky was prosecuted. Boesky cooperated with the SEC and informed on several of his insiders, including junk bond trader Michael Milken. As a result of a plea bargain Boesky received a prison sentence of 3.5 years and was fined US$100 million. Although he was released after two years, he was barred from working in the securities business for the remainder of his life. He served his prison sentence at Lompoc FPC near Vandenburg AFB in California. He started out working irrigation on the 3000 head cattle ranch but moved to taking care of the flower beds at the dairy.

Milken (born July 4, 1946 in Encino, California). He is an American financier and philanthropist who developed, after almost single-handedly having created, the market for "high-yield bonds" (also known as "junk bonds") during the 1970s and 1980s.
After he was sent to prison on finance-related charges, his detractors cited him as the epitome of Wall Street "greed" during the 1980s, and nicknamed him "The Junk Bond King."
After serving his sentence, Milken launched a public relations campaign to highlight his role as a great innovator and financier, particularly with regard to popularizing higher-risk alternative investments, while smoothing over his criminal record.

Carl Celian Icahn (born February 16, 1936) is an American billionaire financier.
Icahn, raised in Queens, New York City, earned a reputation as a corporate raider after his hostile takeover of TWA in 1985. He was educated at Princeton University (A.B., Philosophy, 1957) and New York University School of Medicine, where he dropped out before graduation. Carl Icahn, like many others in the 1980s, made his billionaire fortune in large part because of financier Michael Milken's junk bonds. After the junk bond and overall market bust in the early 1990s, Carl Icahn played a lower profile role in the business world, preferring to be less public in his dealings.

I vonder what he's up to?
I ain't jealous
I think it's folly when already extremely wealthy men screw the littel guy to make more
you don't amass these kinds of fortunes through fair play
unless you're Bill Gates who outsmarted them all
the geek who remembers and has the kindest and most philanthropic heart
and he gets bad press
