"This is what he was doing the other night when one of the Wall Street wise guys was being sentenced for making a killing on inside stock tips.</br></br>""Your honor,"" the defendant began, ""I am ashamed of what I did. I should have never gotten involved with insider information."" ""That's not what you're ashamed of,"" shouted Morton. ""What you're sorry about is that you had to give back $6 million.""</br></br>The defendant wiped a tear from his eye. ""Most of all I am full of remorse because I brought disgrace on my parents and my friends who had no idea what I was doing.""</br></br>The defendant said, ""I have discovered that when you betray the people you work for and the country you love there is a lot of pain.""</br></br>""He had the same barber as Ivan Boesky. You must remember the stock market is a jungle-it's dog eat dog, and you can't blame a young man for wanting to make more money than Merrill Lynch Fenner and Smith. If this guy didn't feed inside information to Boesky, somebody else would have. The traders have a saying on Wall Street, `If a man does something illegal and they put his picture on the front page of the New York Post, he has suffered enough.' "" The defendant continued, ""I ask all the people I have hurt to forgive me for what I've done. I'm going to devote the next 60 years of my life to giving poor people good stock tips."""
