Insider Trading Scandal

A quick one discussing today's big insider case.

  1. I thought this article was interesting because in class i watched a movie based on insider trading and the wrongs and the outcome of it. I think it is wrong to give out information so people get an edge when it comes to trading but it is so tempting to do because you feel you can get away with it.

  2. I always figured it was rather simple to get involved with insider trading, and to some extent I feel that it is. I think the people that really get caught up with insider trading scandals are usually those who've tried to make money the honest way through stocks but never actually got anything out of it, so they turned to the illegal way. It seems really simple to get caught up with these scandals, but I don't think that the people are bad necessarily, they just made bad decisions.

    Although this case is somewhat hard to follow with the names of the people involved not being revealed, the people involved are being charged with fraud for leaking out information that was meant to be hidden. I particularly found it interesting that Jiau is the seventh member of Primary Global Research in the past couple of months to be accounted for fraud. These cases probably have caused a detrimental decline in the company's value and reputation.
