The implications are bigger than for public companies' insider trading. Think about the success of the Oatmeal's Exploding Kittens card game on Kickstarter. Aside from the fact that KS's new payment processor Stripe is leeching an astounding amount of money from this campaign (where most pledges have probably been made with cash-like debit cards being charged at the rate of credit cards), there are also implications of aggregation inside that cartel. How many playing card printing companies out there are eager to handle that order? What if you knew ahead of time who they were going to use, based on that "bank account" info you have to give out when you sign up for a campaign on KS? Private companies leverage this info all the time, and it's much easier for them to get away with it.
