    I have uncle in my family who's retired who recently made around 750k because he heard his friend that works that moved off and got a job at a company in North Carolina. The friend said the company was coming out with certain kind of product. Not really thinking about it but my uncle took initiative and thought it would be a good deal. This was after the stock market crash so he put $50,000 into it from his 401k and he sold it last year for a profit of $748,000

He told my uncle information that only people within the company knew, just from having casual conversation about his new job. By the time it reached the public that they were releasing a product, it was a year later and the stock was over $13 He bought it under a dollar. Not like they were scheming trying to make money, My uncle just decided to put some money into it because he thought it would be a big deal and it was..

    Insider trading is a difficult crime to prove, as it requires proving intent without a smoking gun of evidence, such as an email explicitly stating the intent to manipulate stock prices. Martha Stewart was famously accused of insider trading but was actually convicted of obstruction of justice. Congress has not explicitly defined insider trading, leading to two theories: classical insider trading, where an officer or director of a company uses confidential information for personal gain, and misappropriation, where individuals outside the corporation use confidential information to trade. Insider trading can be prosecuted through civil or criminal law, with the Securities and Exchange Commission handling civil litigation at the federal level and the Department of Justice handling criminal cases. In 2022, the SEC amended an existing rule to enhance investor protections against insider trading, leading to the first insider trading case prosecuted exclusively based on this rule in March 2023. The SEC took on 760 total enforcement actions in fiscal year 2022 and recovered more than $6.4 billion that year. It's important to distinguish between investigations of reporting rule violations and fraud investigations, as the latter requires evidence of a deceptive scheme. Overall, insider trading remains difficult to stop due to the lack of a clear definition and the challenge of proving intent.

    Catching insider trading is like trying to indict corrupted politicians who are bought by their rich buddies and family. it's legal because they can advocate things they believe in while taking campaign funding. Rules are set up such that they're all illegal and legal at the same time. The only difference between you doing something illegal vs someone else who can get away is they got lawyers and good ones while your lawyers are literally just begging for a lighter sentence.
