eamon javers in washington with who's asking the questions now. >> maria, it's one of the tri y trickiest questions here in washington, when does advance information about something that congress or regulatory agencies is about to do become insider trading? last week we saw "the wall street journal" report on a new example of this, when a political intelligence firm here in washington sent a tip to its clients that there was a change coming in the way medicare and medicaid pay out benefits. that caused a spike in health insurance stocks. take a look at this chart. and what you'll see is within about 15 minutes of that information going out to the clients, those stocks spiked. that has got senator chuck grassley upset. he says it's unfair, because the people who got the information ahead of time got an unfair advantage and he was grilling today the head of medicare and medicaid. take a listen to the exchange. >> wrong and quite possibly illegal and i hope you agree that ultimately you're responsible. what are you going to do to hold somebody accountable for this

eamon javers is our watchdog and he is keeping an eye out on where fraud might be lurking. i know you have been studying this for a while. what are you finding? >> if you're an investor, shareholder or a tax holder, there are people out there every day looking to separate you from your money. now we're going to tell you who they are, bringing you the latest in alleged scams, frauds, and a abuse. think of it as a regular reminder to watch your money. this week we've got two-stories that could have affected you if you've got a mortgage or if you pay federal taxes. just today, for example, the consumer financial protection bureau announced four enforcement actions to end what it said were improper kickbacks paid by mortgage brokers to mortgage lenders. the proposals would require four national insurance companies to pay $15 million in penalties. >> so eamon, what did they allegedly do wrong there? tell us how this whole thing unfolded. >> well, the cfpb says the insurance firms provided kickbacks to lenders by purchasing what were essentially worthless reinsurance that was des

eamon javers is in edison, new jersey, with all the details.n't know all this talk of giving someone advantage over the other, i thought it was supposed to be a level playing field. >> reporter: let me give you a perspective on that 4 milliseconds. that's faster than the human eye can blink. it takes about 300 milliseconds to blink your eye. it's faster than the human thought. but this consortium put up behind us and transmitting new signals to the nasdaq in new jersey say they can shave 4 milliseconds off the transmission time and that's faster than the speed of light as it travels over a fiber optic cable. why is that? a fiber optic cable is disadvantaged because it's got to travel with the contours of the earth, which is a curve. this technology goes in a much straighter line, so it comes much closer to the approximate speed of light itself, which albert einstein said is the fastest speed that anything can go. critics say all of this is too fast. it's playing into the hands of high-frequency traders that are trading faster with algorithmic c

eamon? >> it's one of the trickiest questions here in washington facing investors. when is advanced information about something that congress or government regulators might do actually inside information in terms of trading on stocks that will move as a result of that news? last week "wall street journal" first reported an incident involves insurance stocks that moved based on a proposed change at the centers for medicare and medicaid services. today senator chuck grassley was grilling the proposed new head of that entity called cms. he said he hopes that she understands these kinds of leaks are her responsibility. take a look at the exchange. >> it is wrong and quite possibly illegal. i hope you agree that ultimately you're responsible. what are you going to do to hold somebody accountable for this leak? >> cms takes all of this seriously. we did receive your letter. we have initiated an internal review. and it will be extensive. >> now, simon, marilyn taverner also told the senate today that she's invited the ig, the inspector general of cms to get involved in thi

eamon javers, we know that this did have an impact to the markets.now joined by bob pisani and art cashin. bob, i know you've been making calls to trading desks and also the exchange to find out security. art, give us your sense of what happened when this first broke and the impact to the market. >> okay. as you know, maria, the rumor was down here on the floor before it ever hit the news wires. probably came from tweeting and blogging. maybe some people were actually at the race. it had a minor effect. the market began to come in a little bit. when we found out it was two explosions, people began to worry about was that terrorism? more than one event, that's when the markets came in the most. subsequently, there was speculation or rumor that at least one of the explosions may have come from a garbage can. that didn't sound terribly sophisticated. that might be a revenge kind of thing preside thing. the market came back. >> we're now back at the lows, near the lows. >> we have about 600 million for sale. $600 million worth for sale on the bell. that'

eamon javers with the story. eamon? >> hi, maria. washington is definitely looking into this, but as you say, a lot of questions do remain here. folks in washington believe that the problem here was on the equity side of the cboe, and that puts it squarely in the per view of the s.e.c. in terms of the regulator. what's the s.e.c. doing about it? they gave us this statement, which doesn't tell us a whole heck of a lot. they say, as is our practice, we are monitoring the situation. now, of course, the s.e.c. wouldn't be able to give us the details of any investigation that is ongoing, but that's what we know so far from washington's perspective here, which isn't much, maria. >> it seems like there's been a lot of issues lately, right? how are regulators deal with all of this? >> it's a lot on their plate. they're drinking from a fire house. particularly just this week, you've already seen the s.e.c. being drawn into this ap twitter hack situation. they've got to investigate that. and at some point, you know, regulators can't investigat

let's get to eamon javers, he's got the story. eamon?ng over the cftc is going on right now and they did tack on a discussion at the end of the day here to talk about that fake ap tweet about twitter. and the cftc meeting is going on right now. they haven't actually gotten around to talking about the twitter situation just yet. and i want to tell you the ironic reason, in part, why, and that's because they've been talking a lot about the flash crash events of may of 2010. and that should give you some sense about how long we might be talking about this ap twitter hack. i've been talking to some folks here in washington and i can tell you, maria, one of the things that regulators are focusing on right now is this question of whether whoever did this hack attack against the ap's twitter account did it in order to cause some disruption in the markets. if it was just vandalism and hacking, there might not be anything for regulators to do here in this case. if it was intended to cause market disruption, that could be market manipulation. that

eamon javers is in washington with details on that. eamon? >> hi, bill.s story is likely one of those that's going to get under the skin of anybody who paid their taxes last week. 24 current and former irs employees have been indicted for fraud. they're accused to have falsely saying that they were employed and getting benefits, allegedly obtaining over $250,000 in benefits. some of them allegedly obtained insurance payments, food stamps, welfare, and housing vouchers. i'm told that these were employees in and around the memphis service center in tennessee. they'rw- and seasonal employees, and bill, i talked to the irs about this. they say that they hold their employees to the highest ethical standards and point out that they have over 90,000 employees at the irs. clearly, a group here now under intense scrutiny and we'll have to see how this one plays out. but 24 current and former irs employees indicted now for fraud. >> but did they pay taxes on those benefits that they got? >> that's one thing we'll have to check, michelle. >> thank you, eamon. >>> go

right to eamon javers. >> the s.e.c. has issued an interesting ruling on social media. the s.e.c.g in a press release just a few minutes ago that it is okay for companies to use social media sites like facebook and twitter to announce company information, but they have to let investors know which sites they're going to be using to disseminate that information. now, this ruling has an interesting back story here. it comes in the wake of a facebook posting by the ceo netflix, who posted some information to his personal facebook page about the company. that information was not included in a press release or an 8k for investors. it affected the company's stock price and the question then became, when it is okay for company officials to use social media like twitter and facebook to release this information? the s.e.c. now saying, it is okay to use those venues. but they've got to let some investors know when they're going to be posting that stuff before they post it. and that way everybody knows where to look for the new details, maria. >> very interesting. >> yes, it's interesting, bu

cnbc's eamon javers joining us now with more of the details. eamon? >> good evening, brian.he "washington post" reported this story this morning. let me walk you through the details of what they say is a campaign by obama administration officials to push banks to loosen their lending standards when it comes to home mortgages. the "post" saying that the obama administration wants those banks to begin to lend again post-crisis. they say they've ratcheted the standards up too high and they want the banks to use those taxpayer-backed programs that enable them to do it and they're also urging the department of justice to reassure banks they won't be subject to prosecution or investigation if they move toward lending to people with lower credit scores. apparently, obama administration officials now feeling that some of the bank loan requirements of 20% down and near pristine credit scores are too high and that's hurting the housing recovery as a lot of people just simply can't get credit in this market. and brian, i've got to tell you, the interesting thing about this story is the

eamon javers joins us now with the sordid details. >> reporter: what a coincidence. the timing of this story comes at the same time the government accountability office the gao here in washington released a new report on what's called the political intelligence industry and it's those firms that mine washington agencies, congress, all of the federal government apparatus here for details that they can then feed to traders on wall street to get ahead of the announcements of major information. let me bring the highlights. gao finding that no laws or ethics rules specifically govern the sale of information by these political intelligence firms but they also said the disclosure of material nonpublic governmental information could be insider trading and they said members of congress could use the speech or debate privilege of the united states constitution as a defense here. now the story that was broken in the "wall street journal" this morning was of a firm called height securities which got information in advance in a change of medicare payment policy on monday, release

thank you so much, eamon.er this month, of course, the securities and exchange commission announced that companies can disclose information via social media. a move that was applauded in many circles. but after today's incident, now the skeptics are coming out. they're saying twitter may simply be too vulnerable to a trusted source. >> joining us now, joe greco, he's on the floor of the exchange here with meridian equity partners. michelle kwan with michelle kwan and associates is a former director of the u.s. computer emergency readiness team. we'll talk with her in a minute. and our own melissa lee is here. melissa, i'll start with you. we had some traders telling me on the floor here, they got stopped out of this market. they're not happy about that, but it does point to a way that investors can protect themselves, just in case you get an event like this, right? >> absolutely. stop loss is the key, bill. it's free for investors. and what you do, you basically designate the price in which you want to sell se

over to eamon javers. >>> a new development in the political intelligence agency here in washington.r that story from earlier in the month in which a political firm near d.c. called height securities sent an e-mail tip to a number of its wall street trading clients, advising them of some changes in the medicare program. those firms, in turn, traded on that tip. well, now we've got a development in the story, in the case of greenberg troug. they had a partner or lawyer there who was involved in the chain of communications here of this information. they are now saying they're getting out of the business of political intelligence altogether in the back of this situation. let me read you the statement here. they say, we have concluded that providing government relation services to an entity in the political intelligence area may lead to misunderstanding and unintended use of those services, even when compliant with legal and ethical standards. height is no longer a client and we will not represent such figures in the future. maria, there's no indication that greenberg traugig or height s

now that's coming into play in a very real way here on capitol hill. >> eamon, thanks very much.jafrs javers in washing. so josh lipton has today's winners and losers. josh? >> hey, there, bill. some notable losers in today's session. let's start with apple making a new 52-week low, slipping at one point below 400 bucks. analysts saying one catalyst for today's sell-off, that weak revenue forecast from apple's supplier, sirius cirrus logic. and bank of america also in the red. worst day for that dow component this year. posting profits and revenue that disappointed the street. and we were watching copper today, the red metal settling at the lowest level from 2011. freeport mcmoran down hard. fairway, priced at 13, above the range, open at 18 on the nasdaq, ticker fwm, surging some 33% in today's session. american express, the global financial services firm reported after the bell, beat on the bottom line, missed on revenue stock following in the after-hours. also reporting, ebay, the world's biggest online market place. first quarter revenue just missed, beat on the bottom line.

nbc's eamon mohyeldin is live. where are we at right now? >> reporter: let's start off with what began on friday and the small town outside of cairo there was a religious squirmish that quickly escalated into a gun fight in which four christians were killed. on sunday christian worshipers came to pay their respects and mourn the death of those in a large funeral procession at the main cathedral that turned violence. according to sources and eyewitnesses as that was wrapping up, the crowd of christian mourners came under attack by those throwing stones, molotov cocktails and they then in return opened fire on the crowds. the police came but the question on everyone's mind including lawmakers as well as the political opposition is why did the ministry of interior and police force not secure sunday's funeral procession when they knew it could be another flash point. the president said he launched an investigation and telephoned the pope, the patriarch and said all results would be made publicly but undermines the growing tension and eyes of the

. >> eamon javers joins us from washington.e over the weekend and donohoe was emailing 40 million ebay users trying to get them revved up about it and obviously there's a lot of political heat around this potential vote. >> any time you can deliver grassroots mobile situation it helps here in washington and simon, you know a lot of stuff, but i guess there's one thing that you don't know and that is when you buy something on ebay or amazon or any one of these online retailers, you're supposed to pay the sales tax on it and you're supposed to keep track of it yourself and figure out what it is and pay it at the end of the year. most folks don't know that and most taxpayers don't pay that tax and retailers for years have been extraordinairily upset and this gives folks an unfair advantage. now they have a vote in the senate and what this bill would do is they would allow states to force retailers to collect those sales taxes even if the sales tax -- even if the sales were done online and they'll vote on this at 5:30 this afternoo

as eamon javers said, this tweet when it came out, we were like, this doesn't look real, the language doesn't appear right. in i hacked into a big company's twitter feed, and i put out a tweet that looked real, used corporate-speak, maybe said we are missing earnings, and the stock tanks, that company may not discover that for a few minutes, and mom and pop are getting wiped out. if they sell and it's fake, how do they get their money back? you wonder if the s.e.c. maybe needs to rethink this. >> it's worse than that. you can set up a fake twitter account in the name of the company. the company may not know it exists. that gets picked up on the real twitter account or other people's tweets and has the same practical effect. >> i would really like to know going forward whether or not it has any impact on how much we use social media. i don't know if this is in your jurisdiction, but based on your experience where people are involved in some kind of activity, and then there's multiple accounts, say credit card fraud. i've been a victim of credit card fraud, i still use my credit cards d

eamon javers has what it means for the government-controlled company. the. >> it's a pretty astonishing turnaround in washington, of course, we all remember it being the epicenter of the 2008 financial crisis. let me walk you through the details. the ceo of the company said the 2012 results were terrific, and said they represent a turning point for the company. came in the fourth quarter, fannie mae says it's paid taxpayers billions in dividends since 2008. the company now respects to remain profitable. that raises a big question, which is what happens to fannie mae and the sister company. they were put into conservatorship, now will the movement toward housing reform and replacing fannie and freddie, will that be stalled as a result of these profits sort of taking the urgency out of the debate, particularly because this is a town that is drowning in red ink. fannie mae, ironically may represent one of the rare patches of black ink in a town that's otherwise consumed by debt. >>> well, they certainly have a the lo of of other things they could put to th

eamon, as i understand it, the united nations team that wants to investigate is stuck in cyprus and hasn'tn able to get into syria. there are reports that refugees who fled from syria have had sarin detected in their hair. is that right? >> that's correct. in fact, there have been a lot of anecdotal evidence so far gathered through various names that substantiated the claims chemical weapons have been used including interviews with field hospital doctors who have seen these things, as you mentioned as well, evidence popping up among the refugees fleeing some of these areas. there is substantial claims being made and that is being also confirmed by the various intelligence gatherings. >> kristen, the white house's office of legislative affairs sent a letter to senators. it reads as follows. "given the stakes involved and what we've learned from our recent experiences intelligence assessments alone are not sufficient. only credible, corroborated facts that provide us with some degree of certainty will guide our decision-making." that's a direct reference, is it not, to 2003 and iraq? >> repo
