- PhantomGremlin 11y agoI agree with you in general. There have been successful prosecutions which have resulted in significant jail time. Although the Supremes have yet to weigh in on the latest batch[1], and right now it's not looking good for the Feds. But I disagree with you about Stevie Cohen. Quite a few of his underlings took a fall, but he personally emerged scot free. He simply wrote a very big check and made his problems go away. He's busy managing his remaining billions in a "family office".

- ConfuciusSay 11y agoLOL, Steven Cohen is your example of SEC getting it right? He's the best example of how the insiders are allowed to do it, while everyone else is not. As long as you call it an "experts network" and as long as you structure your corporate hierarchy properly you can do insider trading all day every day! Just ask Steven Cohen.
