Shortly after their meeting, Naccio was approached by the NSA. So was AT&T, Verizon, and Sprint. The difference? Naccio said "I don't think so, see I've ACTUALLY read the constitution, sorry charlie..." They didn't like this as you can hopefully imagine? (If you even try the "give the previous administration the benefit of the doubt you'll get laughed at btw...) Strangely, even though USWEST had built 2 proven secured networks previously for different government departments, suddenly the deal was off. Your entire premise for you're case against this man was that he knew what the numbers would be by years end 8 months in advance, and somehow "secretly" traded a bunch of stock. LOL It couldn't have been based on the general knowledge that LAN line profits were on the down and never coming back, coupled with the knowledge that the government was pissed at him.... is this really insider trading? What you you have had him do? Come on national television and proclaim, "i was part of a government contract signing and because I wouldn't sell out my people and betray my country, the contract fell through...... so thats where our current forecast is as of today, we'll let you know of any new developments." I mean COME ON! The judge wouldn't even let him enter the contract's into evidence without taking the stand. Now answer me this, if you were the CEO of a large telecom company, which is HIGHLY regulated by the government, and you were called into the office of the POTUS one day..... given special security clearance, told that you're CFO couldn't come because of lack of "special security clearance," and sworn to secrecy. Warned that if you ever talked about the details of the plan or worse took the stand in a trial, it would be the end of you.... what would you do? Would you take 5 years for your family and country? look a little deeper you idiot. you're probably just mad you lost money in the stock. I have an idea, don't buy stock. Wall Street has owned stupid America for exactly 75 years and counting. And you people just keep believing in it. WOW.

He was a scapegoat. Every trade he made was publicly announced, approved by the Qwest Board, Approved by Qwest General Counsel and made within the legal trading period for Company Employees. No one, I repeat no one, has ever been able to say what the Inside information he had when these trades were made. He is the victim of an arrogant and egotistical judge (Edward Nottingham of the Diamond Cabaret Nottingham's) and a Government gone out of control and totally not interested in justice. This is nothing but a hight tech lynching and a travesty of the American Judicial System. Matthew Joe Nacchio was absolutely not guilty of Insider Trading. He was a scapegoat.
