Rob Rubin was offering IPOs to groups that would buy other stock and drive up the price. I believe the practice is called "laddering".

Dead,

And correct me if I am wrong - isn't "laddering" 100% illegal and / or unethical regardless who's President?

This may be yet another reason why Rubin will not be asked to testify anytime soon. In the extremely remote chance that he does, he will plead the 5th. Just like so many Clintoids before him...

Don't forget that John Corzine was involved in laddering as ceo of Goldman Sachs.
