At least someone’s<\/em> bringing some accountability of some sort this year….<\/p>\n

<\/center><\/p>\n

Looks like our old friends at Diebold have left us with an end-of-year gift, as their share prices continued tumbling today to close the year at $28.98\/share. Just a smidgeon above their 5-year<\/del> 7-year low set earlier in the day. (DBD stock hasn’t been this worthless since April of 2001.)<\/p>\n

But, as we reported in our recent summary of the years-long undoing<\/a> of one of America’s worst voting machine companies (we know, it’s a close contest), there has yet to be any<\/em> accountability, for the company insiders who, with stunningly fortuitous coincidental<\/em> timing, just happened to sell off thousands of shares at $53.04 last August.<\/p>\n

Those lucky executives moved at just the right time, right near the year’s peak of $54.50, last August, and just prior to the precipitous 43% plunge over the rest of the year. We — and we alone, unfortunately — reported on that apparent insider trading<\/a> just after the sell-off in late Summer.<\/p>\n

Whether the recently announced DoJ investigation of Diebold<\/a> has anything to do with that chicanery, we can’t tell ya. And we’re still waiting for any of the thousands of Election Officials, who’ve been screwed by the once-beloved America-hating company, to file suit themselves. But at least the shareholders, if no one else so far, are beginning to bring some accountability.<\/p>\n

Happy New Years, Diebold! We’ll see ya on the other side. And that’s one thing upon which, you can finally count correctly<\/em>, for a change…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
