{{
__Insider trading is illegal.__

Create the following rule:
{{
__Die, wonko!__

Wonko may not trade on the Stock market. This rule takes precedence over rule
946.
}}

Create the following rule:
{{
__Grumble__

A player may own no more than 15 shares of any corporation or player. This
rule takes precedence over rule 946.
}}

Give all points gained by this proposal passing to Mithrandir.
Destroy all stocks held by Wonko.
Transfer all BNS held by Wonko to the bank.
