The stripper, the tipper and the big, brazen scam

For a couple of guys in their 20s, fresh out of top-notch universities, David Pajcin and Eugene Plotkin allegedly managed to orchestrate what prosecutors in New York describe as one of the most brazen insider trading scams they have ever seen. The alleged scam involved 13 people in three countries and included an analyst at Merrill Lynch & Co., an exotic dancer, a 63-year-old retired seamstress in Omis, Croatia, and one very determined forklift operator in Wisconsin.
