insider trading---The process of investing or divesting on “non-public” information.
In an era of confusion about who owns what information and lightning fast data
transfer methods, actually proving an insider trading scheme exists could be
very difficult. However, the trading of stock options in front of a
merger/acquisition is easy to see by regulators, at least according to one
legend, pointing to deals which may include naked shorting and worth millions to those making them, whilst
costing millions to actual asset owners. There are dark pools of people, capital
and shadowy banking…the structure of which is unbeknownst to most mates whilst
derivatives of derivatives of derivatives fly around. Efforts in
chasing down conspirators are necessary, as one of these schemes could bring
down the entire global economy. The truth of the matter is some people can dig
up information on computers that frankly others can’t. See also
conspiracy and asymmetric information.
