But remember: you'll also need to sell the stock after having committed the crime, with all the attention drawn to those getting a big payout.

  It will take at least a week for the SEC to make an official request. Funds would have settled and you can call up and wire the money away. Never seen it with stocks but have seen in on deposit accounts. One of the biggest issues with online banks is fake accounts that are used as mule accounts to move stolen money. Authentication in the us is weak and based around SSN and credit history which isn’t hard to buy. Want a billion dollar idea, solve that with out using things like sending a verification code in the mail to an address on active account in the person credit history.

    The SEC will find you. I know from experience.

      Assuming this is what you went to prison for, is there anything you can tell us about what happened or what the experience was like? Or have you written about it already on HN or anywhere else? Of course I can understand if you somehow unable or unwilling to talk about it, but I'm really curious and it can't hurt to ask :).
