Insider Trading Charges

Insider Trading Defense in Texas
Board Certified Criminal Defense Attorney – San Antonio, TX

Insider trading prosecutions have been some of the most publicized white collar prosecutions from the 1980s until today. Insider trading is usually associated with officers of a corporation, and others who might have access to “inside” information, like corporate lawyers, investment brokers, etc. However, anyone playing the stock market can be charged with insider trading if they are accused of trading securities with information that is not available to the general public. If you or someone you know has been charged with insider trading, take it seriously. Call the Law Offices of Anthony Cantrell immediately. Don’t say anything to investigators or prosecutors without an attorney present. This is a federal charge which means there are stiff penalties and strict minimum sentences.

Insider trading is not defined in a specific statute; it is a term used to describe people with inside information who take unfair advantage of information to make money or avoid losing money in securities. Insider trading is defined as having and using non-public information to engage in securities trading without disclosing that information to the public first. The inside information may be about a company the insider works for, or owns stock in. Inside information can also be gathered by learning about a company you have no connection with. If a person is caught using information that is not available to the general public to make securities trades, then that person can be charged with insider trading. These crimes typically are prosecuted under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934.
