“There’s no tracing Xbox 360 chat,” claimed guy now charged with insider trading

A Wall Street associate may have done crimes on Xbox.

If you’re going to do financial crimes, maybe an Xbox isn’t your best bet? That is one but hopefully not the only lesson learned by 26-year-old Anthony Viggiano, a former Goldman Sachs investment analyst who’s been indicted for insider trading, along with two of his friends.
He allegedly tipped off those friends to big financial deals using both encrypted messaging and — incredibly — a game console’s audio chat.

Salamone: You have shit where you’re giving fucking information to fucking Steve [Forlano Jr.]?

VIGGIANO: Nah. Nah. Because similar to you . .. signal, or like XBOX 360 chat, there’s no tracing that. Good luck ever finding that.

90 days, unless you profited from it, in which case 15 to life.

The cops had text messages and it sounds like they flipped at least one of the witnesses. I don’t think they actually transcribed the X360 chat logs.

The guys who do this should seek out the scummiest counterparties like Israeli scam binary options firms and UK CFD brokers that won’t collaborate with law enforcement even if they get ripped off

Implying they’d wait for a warrant.

Oh they're saving them. They're just not letting you see them anymore.
