Facebook Selective Disclosure - Business Insider

businessinsider.com — Earlier this week, we described how big potential investors in the Facebook IPO got important negative information that small investors didn't get: Namely, they got a heads-up that Facebook's business had suddenly deteriorated. This "tip" came in the form of sudden estimate cuts by the research analysts at Facebook's IPO underwriters, who were told by company management that the second quarter was falling short of expectations.
