He purchased over 95,000 Kodak shares before the public announcement. His cousin Edward Gray Stiles Jr. also purchased over 45,000. Both individuals sold Kodak stocks after the announcement, making an illegal profit of $1.5million.

U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York announced criminal charges as well against the Stiles Cousins.
