How did Gekko know where Fox got info about BlueStar airlines?


The part when they are in the car, where they are talking about inside information, and Gekko says,"Oh you mean like when a father tells his son about a court ruling on an airline?"

I dont remember Fox telling him where he got that info.

The most valuable commodity being information, Gekko clearly had some background checking done on Bud. Would have been easy to discover that fact.

@stevexx28 When they're in the sauna and Fox tells Gekko about the loss on Terafly, Gekko says, "Well I guess your Dad's not a union representative of that company, huh?"

Once Gekko found out that Bud's father worked at Bluestar (info which wouldn't be that hard for Gekko to get), well pretty much anyone could figure out how Bud got the info on Bluestar's court ruling, huh?

oooohh ok now i saw it. Yea he probably did some background checking, that makes sense.
