CARDWARE Inc. plans to take over First Class Purses &
Accessories (FCPA) in an effort to coordinate elegant CARDWARE
professional attire with items from FCPA that will complement CARDWARE’s
fashion designs. Darla, owner of Darla’s Dummies, a mannequin
manufacturer whom CARDWARE had used on numerous occasions happened to be
delivering mannequins to CARDWARE’s principal place of business in
Silkadonia. As she was bringing the last of the dummies down the hall to
the room where the dummies are dressed, she paused to listen to a
conversation coming from one of the open doors of the hallway she was
using. Realizing that a profit could be made from FCPA’s stock, Darla
called her broker and indicated that she wanted to purchase 50 % of the
outstanding stock that was available for FCPA. Darla bought 2,000 shares
of stock at $30 a share.
CARDWARE offered $50 a share and ultimately ended up paying $65 per
share for FCPA stock. Darla was no dummy, as she made a $70,000 profit
on her stock purchase.
The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filed a suit in a federal
district court against Darla and others for alleged violations of, among
other things, SEC Rule 10b-5. [SEC v. Falbo 14 F.Supp.2d 508 (S.D.N.Y.
1998)]
