WASHINGTON, Sept. 22 - A spokesman for Senator Bill Frist, Republican of Tennessee, said Thursday that the Securities and Exchange Commission had contacted Mr. Frist’s office about the sale in June of his shares in HCA, the giant hospital company founded by his family.
Mr. Frist, whose brother Thomas F. Frist Jr. is chairman emeritus and the largest individual shareholder of the company, disclosed earlier this week that on June 13 he asked the managers of blind trusts controlling many of his assets to sell any of his remaining shares in HCA.
…I get so confused. I coulda swore that blind trusts were set up so the trustee couldn’t take any action on the assets in the trust. This doesn’t look too “blind” to me…
The “values” party in action.
