...York City investment bank Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, that recklessness led to the arms of an adult-video actress and then to the even longer arms of the law. The banker was charged last week with insider trading for allegedly tipping off Kathryn Gannon, 30, better known as Marylin Star, to a series of impending bank mergers. According to federal prosecutors, the Canadian-born actress traded six times on this information and made $88,000 through an online brokerage account--often investing money McDermott sent via certified checks drawn on a bank account he shared with his wife. McDermott was freed...
...Marylin Star four years ago during a video shoot for Wicked Pictures, one of the leading adult production companies. I was writing a story about the $5 billion adult-entertainment industry, and she represented, in many ways, the heart and dark soul of that industry: a pretty, vivacious, surgically enhanced blond woman who was paid thousands of dollars to have sex on tape...
...camera rolls at a shoot, adult performers present each other with identification and valid--less than 90-day-old--HIV tests to prove that neither performer carries the virus.

"I think a lot of bad things went on with them. They split, and they never went up. They took over a bunch of companies, and it never worked out." I asked her what the next big thing was. "I have a lot of tips...
Last week porn star Marylin Star was charged with soliciting insider trading secrets from her "friend" James McDermott, the now former chairman of Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, an investment bank. She made $88,000 investing in companies his firm was about to help merge, and tipped off a buddy, who scored $86,000. I had been missing out on this stock-market craze for too long, and I needed to do something about it. Since no venture capitalists seemed as if they were going to invest in my Jeff Foxworthy tribute site idea, I figured I needed a new plan...
