Near Real time commentary on investments from an asset manager while sounding like music to our ears, strikes terror into asset managers staff i would think. That is the change in mindset that needs to be realised by the asset management industry, the first to adopt a more open mindset may just reap the benefits while the others  in their sector are in their vapour trail. plus any explosion in this type of information would lead to a more careful managment of real time data fees by the AM. 

a modern phone with 3G or 4G circumvents any corporate bans, plus voice calls between disposbale PAYG cellphones is the the best of breed protection any market rigger needs. The evidence of the LIBOR riggers stunned me just by the fact how stupid someone breaking the law can be...."email, yeah they wil never check that". However not all riggers or market maniplulators will be so ill informed. the more tech savvy will be using private chat software like jabber or even public IRC chat rooms (like freenode) that computer hackers have been using for years. However i would wager that services like CRYPTOCAT will be the newest tool in the untraceable messaging game "https://crypto.cat/"

Very enjoyable article, i would be interested if you feel the Banks getting smashed by PPI claims and Facebook's first financial report are linked by mis-selling ? IE Mis-selling of protection and the FB IPO mis-selling IE . Jimmy Lee of JPMorgan Chase described it as "the next great blue-chip"
