So the first arrest happened, Raj Rajaratnam.
Do you know this is coming?
No.
So he had booked a flight to London, a return flight through Switzerland, non-extradition.
The FBI saw that.
And I think Raj is pretty sure guys were on to him at this point in 2009.
And so the FBI, I think, arrested him a month before they had planned to in October of 2009.
And then 20 guys are arrested.
I recognize some of the names.
And this is a big day.
Like in the Wall Street Journal, it's like those tipping charts with the names.
And in the middle is Tipper X.
And I'm trying to figure out who's Tipper X. And actually, they didn't tell me I was Tipper X. I forgot to mention, too.
So at the same time in my life, that week those guys were arrested.
My wife is in the hospital giving birth to our first daughter.
They told me to turn on CNBC.
So they told me when I'm in there, I turn it on.
All these guys are in handcuffs.
I see Tipper X. I see it in the Wall Street Journal.
I go out, get the newspaper that day, and it says Tipper X. And I'm looking for my name.
