Home Previous Page Speech by SEC Staff: A U.S. Perspective Remarks by Thomas C. Newkirk Associate Director, Division of Enforcement Melissa A. Robertson Senior Counsel, Division of Enforcement 16th International Symposium on Economic Crime Jesus College, Cambridge, England September 19, 1998 I. Introduction More Americans are investing in the stock market than ever before and Americans now have almost twice as much money invested in the stock market as in commercial banks. We believe this reflects Americans' trust and confidence in the American stock markets and that trust stems from a belief that our government relentlessly pursues its mandate to maintain the fairness and integrity of the stock markets. As Chairman Levitt of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC" or "Commission") recently observed in an address to the legal and investment community: An essential part of our regulation of the securities market is the vigorous enforcement of our laws against insider trading, an enforcement program, the Chairman noted, that "resonate[s] especially profoundly" among American investors. The enforcement program includes both civil and criminal prosecution of insider trading cases. In the fiscal year ended September 30, 1997, the Commission brought 57 insider trading cases.

Rense.com The Profits Of Death...Insider Trading And 911 - Part III By Tom Flocco and Michael C. Ruppert Edited by Michael C. Ruppert Rights Reserved. May be recopied, distributed or posted on the worldwide web for non-profit purposes only. Editor's Notes - In Part I of this series FTW, thanks to the brilliant research of Tom Flocco, demonstrated that the CIA has, in fact, been involved in monitoring stock trades on world financial markets, and that current CIA executives have had recent business relationships with firms handling obvious insider trades connected to the attacks of September 11th. Those connections ran directly into the heart of German financial giant Deutschebank. In Part II we documented that a former Deutschebank executive, Kevin Ingram, had recently been convicted on drug and money laundering charges that were directly a result of attempts to arm Islamic terrorist groups. Now in Part III, we conclude this series by revealing a devastating conflict of interest in investigating these leads on the part of President George W. Bush by virtue of his own past insider trading through Harken Energy in Bahrain and Kuwait. The Administration's apparently deliberate omission of key mid-Eastern banks in these two countries from post 9-11 investigations suggests clearly that the principal financial institutions of the countries where Harken did business have something to hide which the Bush Administration does not want to see the light of day - especially as potentially explosive Enron investigations gather steam.

4. The "Crime" Of Insider Trading , The crime of insider trading by Isaac DiIanni (September 10,2002) One commonly misunderstood (when not ignored) aspect of http://www.capitalistfreepress.com/Articles/00004_ird.html

The "Crime" of Insider Trading by Isaac DiIanni (September 10, 2002) One commonly misunderstood (when not ignored) aspect of the government’s increasingly strong grip around the throats of American businessmen is the SEC’s set of so-called “insider trading” laws. These are the laws that try to prevent people from buying or selling stocks based on information that is not available to the “general public.” Because of the inherently subjective nature of these laws, in practice they have given the SEC virtually unlimited power to harass, fine, and even imprison anybody who makes money by trading on a stock market. If an idea results in tyranny when put into practice, it cannot be benevolent in theory. So naturally, an honest look at the theory surrounding them reveals that insider trading laws are invalid, unnecessary, and harmful. The only valid role of government is to protect the individual rights of its citizens. A set of objective laws is the primary tool that the government uses to achieve this goal. Therefore, when examining the validity of a given law, the fundamental question must be: Does this law protect individual rights, or violate them? In the case of insider trading laws, it is clear that these laws violate individual rights, specifically the right to free exchange (an extension of the right to property). Nobody is forced to buy or sell stocks. People buy stocks with the knowledge that there is a risk involved. she alone must bear the risk involved Some might mention the situation in which an executive intentionally misrepresents the health of his company with the goal of defrauding shareowners. But though this executive may use inside information during this process, the crime here is not that he traded on information unknown to others, but that he deliberately deceived other people in an effort to gain the unearned.

June 25, 2002 Free Samuel Waksal "Insider Trading" should not be a crime. By Brian Doherty Poor Samuel Waksal. Back in December, the Food and Drug Administration struck a grave blow to his company, ImClone Systems, by denying it the right to market a potential cancer treatment it had developed. Then two weeks ago the FBI arrested him (and the Securities and Exchange Commission sued him) for letting relatives know about the FDA’s plan before it issued its press release. They sold ImClone stock before it started dropping upon news of the FDA’s decisions. So did Waksal's pal Martha Stewart, and the news is causing her no end of trouble and lost stock value for her own company although she denies being tipped off. Waksal, who recently resigned as CEO of ImClone, faces a potential 75 years in prison, plus fines, if found guilty of all charges. It’s the return of that nostalgic relic of the ‘80s, the supposedly heinous crime of insider trading. The SEC reports a nearly 50 percent rise in insider-trading cases from 2000 to 2001. It has been off the front pages so long that it pays to think about what insider trading really is, such that a (formerly) highly respected immunologist should be locked up in a cell for the rest of his life for it.

The Capitalism Site Capitalism Frequently Asked Questions Insider Trading What is "insider" trading? The essential principle of socialism, applied to the physical realm, is that property belongs to the “public” regardless of who undertook the effort to create the property. The insider trading laws are its intellectual corollary; if government can take control of the physical creations of your body, it is no great stretch to expect it will take control the intellectual results of your mind, i.e., knowledge. The result is the socialist corruption of the free market known as "insider" trading. The idea that knowledge gained within a company, about that company and its products, belongs to the public, because that company sells its shares to the public. Who does "inside" information belong to? In today’s division-of-labor society, it is inevitable that some individuals will discover and act on information before (and better than) others do. Such differences are also the inevitable consequence of the fact that the human mind is individual by nature. Just as there’s no such thing as a “collective mind,” there is no such thing as “collective information.” To grasp information an individual must expend effort; he must either create the information or discover it. After he does this, he may well choose to trade it with others or give it away in some act of charity (just as he may do with his tangible assets). But he should not be obligated (nor compelled by law) to do these things. Morally, he doesn’t “owe” his knowledge to anyone. The primary moral obligation rests on others: they should be obliged to keep their hands off such assets and not destroy or steal them (or hire government to do so).

Volume 18 (1993) Insider Trading Nancy Reichman Insider trading involves the unlawful use of material, nonpublic information. Regulation and the push to innovate in the securities industry create new information demands and changing webs of entitlement and obligation that place many different roles and relationships at risk of abuse and corruption. Transactions are pushed to the limits of norms of practice by combinations of information- riented exchanges with conflicts of interest; and organizational cultures, including legal and moral ambiguity about insider trading rules.

Insider Trading in Australia by Roman Tomasic with the collaboration of Brendan Pentony Canberra : Australian Institute of Criminology, 1991 ISBN 642 15877 (Australian Studies in Law, Crime and Justice) Is insider trading a serious problem in Australia? Market observers have reported that it was seen "all the time involving brokers and institutions" or that they saw insider trading "... during the bull market". According to some financial advisers, "in terms of its frequency, insider trading is a small matter but it has the potential to destroy the market". According to others, there is a link between takeovers and insider trading. What is the true story? Casino Capitalism? Insider Trading in Australia gives a revelaing insight into insider trading in Australia. Officials, brokers, merchant bankers, partners in law firms, financial advisers, financial journalists, and many others were interviewed and invited to offer their perceptions of the incidence of insider trading abd to comment on the effectiveness of regulation in the industry.

Australian Institute of Criminology Casino Capitalism? Insider Trading in Australia Chapter 7 The Crime and Oppunity Thesis You can succeed by relying on fundamentals but inside information beats fundamentals. (A Sydney broker) The reasons for the apparent proliferation of insider trading both in Australia and overseas are manifold. The recent rash of insider trading activity is often attributed to the level of greed which is said to drive the securities industry. This factor should not be discounted, but it is clear that other factors are also at work not the least of which has been the unprecedented range of opportunities for insider trading in recent years. The relationship between crime and opportunity is well established within the criminological literature but little has been written about how this relationship arises in the context of insider trading, a crime theoretically punishable theoretically until recently by five years gaol and/or a $20,000 fine in the case of individuals and a fine of $50,000 in the case of corporations. Likely insider trading situations There was no consensus amongst brokers about whether insider trading is more or less likely in second board stock. But despite their differences on this point most brokers shared an uncomplimentary opinion of second board companies. However, the financial advisers agreed uniformly that the area of the market where insider trading is most likely to occur seems to be in the lower quality stocks, such as the speculative, mining and second board stocks. An interesting observation was that originally insider trading was limited to tightly held stock, but in the last two years vast amounts of money have been available and this leads to more insider trading. Cross directorships, trading on rumours, stocks that respond to good news, and stocks whom players are share trading to enlarge their business profits, were seen as situations which led to insider trading. There was no common view among Stock Exchange officials on this matter.

A Victimless crime? Parth J. Shah The Economic Times April 18, 2002 The best way to manage insider trading is by making it a private, civil offence and not by raising it to a public, criminal offence, says Parth J Shah Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) is again set to tighten the law against insider trading. The law was first passed in 1992 and amended very recently in February 2002. As the amendment is more than ten times longer than the original law, one would have thought that SEBI must have plugged all the loop holes. But one would be wrong; a lot more work is apparently required to banish insider trading from the Indian securities market. The aim of insider-trading laws is to assure that no one would gain by trading on "insider" or "unpublished" information—information that is not available to all market participants. The ultimate goal is equal information to all market participants. The proponents see any inequality of information as unfair. Those who are more philosophically inclined would immediately see the parallels between the goals of the equality of information and the equality of opportunity. As history has demonstrated, even a totalitarian state is unable to achieve perfect equality of opportunity. What kind of draconian state would be required to implement equality of information?

(Clive Speed, Assistant Director Australian Business Council, in evidence to Griffiths Committee Hearings, Hansard, p. 43) Sydney Morning Herald , 14 March 1989, p. 27). Similar comments by Mr Bosch were reported in The Australian , 16 February 1989, p. 13, and The Canberra Times , 19 April 1989, p. 6). A similar downplaying of insider trading is evident in the views of the chairman of the Australian Securities Commission's statutory advisory committee, Mr Mark Burrows, who reportedly remarked that certain accounting practices and put and call options were "quite clearly more serious abuses than insider trading" ( Sydney Morning Herald , 21 July 1989, p. 29). In the same report, Mr Bur-rows is also reported to have made a plea that insider trading laws should not be tightened to a point where they had incredible consequences on normal commercial behaviour". The prevalence of insider trading Despite the comment of a prominent Sydney broker (the only broker to refuse to participate in the study) who said: "you don't expect brokers to tell you it goes on do you?", not one of the brokers denied that insider trading took place. Most of them did not agree that it was widespread, but a considerable number of them said that it ranged from being widespread in some areas, to being rife. A typical response was that "insider trading exists but it is not widespread. It does not occur on a wide scale". A Melbourne broker went further than most by saying that "it is a fairly perfect market but there are isolated examples".
