people want to be good but debt and financial problems can negatively impact judgement. people take risks when they are desperate.
I’m sure it happens all the time, we just heard about the ones who got caught.
Personally I would never do it as I can make much more by keeping my job and the field I’m in is all about ethics and integrity. I would rather hustle with contracting or job shop to get a raise if I really needed the money.
- asdfasgasdgasdg 5y agoPeople who are in an insider position at a publicly traded company are generally getting compensated well enough that they do not need any more. They may want more but most folks get by with much less.

- asdfasgasdgasdg 5y agoMost of the time these stories are reported, there is no indication that the motivation is paying back medical debts. Actually I've never seen it. It's normally gambling or drugs. I agree an insider with medical debt is a theoretical problem, but it doesn't seem to be an actually common occurrence.

Tech ( corporate ) pays well enough that anyone with reasonable cost of living and lifestyle shouldn’t resort to extreme desperate measures. The rest is greed. The fact these people have money to play with stocks already shows they’re much better off than the average person.
