When they're motivated to turn the eye of Sauron toward you the Feds can be very hard to evade. This can happen in a lot of ways. Whether you got a tip from a family friend or you knew what trades to make in advance of some fake rumors on Twitter (because you planted them), if you turn $5,000 into $250,000 with some perfectly timed options trades around a news event in an individual stock you will show up on their radar. Of course, insider trading among well connected hedge fund managers and our unaccountable financial elite is indeed pervasive and goes by without being prosecuted all the time, but it's fair to assume yesterday's hackers aren't in this protected class.
