Talk:Philippe Jabre

Market Abuse
Various editors seem to keep removing the information about Jabres Market Abuse fine by the FSA. This was very big news at the time, as is still the largest fine ever handed out by the FSA. The information is well sourced, with a link to the FSA website. Removing this information from this page is equivalent to removing the insider trading information from Ivan Boesky's page.

A google search for Jabre market abuse brings up all of these articles, as it was very big news.

Editor seems to be only interested in adding unsourced info to this article and to be involved in conflict of interest. Market abuse and fine are mentionned in article. Other comments are unsourced libels. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.89.188.61 (talk) 21:29, 2 November 2009 (UTC)

Nothing is unsourced, and what exactly is my conflict of interest? The piece you are deleting comes directly from the FSA website and the other piece is sourced from Bloomberg. Do you deem this to be a unreputable source. You are trying to turn this into a puff piece. There are hundreds of articles on this topic, as I semonstrated above, almost every article about him brings up these issues. Please do not delete any more correctly sourced data and call it vandalism. Writerofstuff (talk) 14:16, 4 November 2009 (UTC)

Market abuse II
Before undoing my edits please read these three articles, and tell me what it is you are claiming is unsourced.
