I think you mean Matt Levine, not Matt Lewis. Matt Levine has written about how insider trading is really about theft, not fairness: https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2015-10-05/justices-aren-t-interested-in-insider-trading-case https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2015-10-05/justic... > If you pickup a dollar bill on the ground, could you be accused of theft? Probably not... Depends on the country - in some countries, yes, that is actually considered theft.
