stephen, what I meant to ask was whether he could mess around with transfer prices to help his company upstream at the expense of this company downstream.

Sorry Ahnuld about just replying,

But ....someone of Icahns wealth/reputation/stature,would really make no sense in doing ANYTHING illegal

Albiet,majority control gives him obvious advantages,but doing anything shady/illegal....would just be suicide for him.These W/S bigwigs(Icahn,Buffet,etc) are under a [censored] microscope when it comes to doing anything not kosher.

Any prosecutor,SEC boss,AG,...would love nothing more than to say they brought down an "Ichan" type on their resume from something just abit off-base these days.

e.g ....look at NYS attorney general Cuomo, sending out supeonas to various banking firms the last few days over the sub-prime mess.Spitzer did the same thing a few years back,all in the name of their OWN political gains IMO

Any mis-step by these W/S big names would be a disaster for them in my book
