Yesterday the SEC brought its second case in a week where the insider trading alleged to have occurred was jaw-droppingly easy to detect. Details on this case, which was filed within 48 hours of the Dell-Perot acquisition announcement, are available here (a discussion of the first case is available here).
Ross Albert, a partner with law firm Morris, Manning & Martin in Atlanta, Georgia and a former SEC attorney, joined Securities Docket editor Bruce Carton in a video interview to break down these two cases, and explain why some insider trading is almost instantly detectable. Watch the full interview in this post on the Enforcement Action blog over at Compliance Week.
