NEW YORK, Sept. 25 (UPI) -- The Texas resident accused of an $8.6 million insider trading fraud was a hero three decades ago in the rescue of U.S. hostages in Iran, witnesses say.

Reza Saleh, an employee of several companies belonging to former independent presidential candidate H. Ross Perot, has been accused of buying $477,000 worth of stock options in advance of the $3.9 billion agreement for Dell Inc. to buy Perot Systems Corp and selling them when the deal was announced Monday for an $8.6 million profit, The Wall Street Journal reported Friday.

Sometimes people do the stupidest things.. Like the SEC isnt watching the options on Perot Systems.

Your point?
He committed a crime.

And was the Iran Hostage situation a bit trumped up for political reasons by the then CIA director, GHW Bush?

Committed a crime? Yes and he isn't the first nor will he be the last to do something really stupid like that.

As for the Iran Hostage situration, you certainly do have a vivid imagination.
