From an article on the front of the New York Times business section:
The history of SAC's rise as it became one of the biggest and most successful hedge funds and its subsequent fall, punctuated by the settlement on Monday, is part of a larger story of how the industry has evolved since the 1980s, when insider trading charges were treated with the seriousness of a parking ticket.
Was the reporter who wrote this article even alive in the 1980s? Was the editor who moved the article along even alive in the 1980s?
Here is a New York Times headline from December 19, 1987: "Boesky sentenced to 3 years in jail in insider scandal."
Here is a New York Times headline from 1989: "'Junk Bond' Leader Is Indicted by U.S. In Criminal Action."
