Book by Mark Coakley From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tip and Trade is a 2011 true crime book by Canadian author Mark Coakley, that depicts an insider trading conspiracy involving Wall Street lawyer Gil Cornblum who had worked at Sullivan & Cromwell and was working at Dorsey & Whitney, and a former lawyer, Stan Grmovsek, who were found to have gained over $10 million in illegal profits over a 14-year span. The crime was detected in 2008. Cornblum committed suicide by jumping from a bridge as he was under investigation and shortly before he was to be arrested but before criminal charges were laid against him, one day before his alleged co-conspirator Grmovsek pled guilty.[1][2][3] Grmovsek pleaded guilty and was sentenced to 39 months in prison;[4] this was the longest term ever imposed for insider trading in Canada.[5]

Canada's national newspaper, The Globe and Mail, called Tip and Trade "riveting."[6] A review by Quill & Quire was negative, stating that "the reader gets the impression that Coakley himself barely cares about his subject."[7] Canadian Lawyer called it "compelling,"[8] and the Winnipeg Free Press called it "a helluva tale, if uneven in spots."[9]
