However he did try (and fail) to have the case overthrown last year, by arguing there was no specific criminal law barring insider training.
That's one claim I've not heard before from an inside trader. If he didnt think it was illegal, then what did he think his job was in informing people about not being allowed to trade during blackout periods? PR?
Careful that he doesnt try and take that claim all the way to the Supreme Court, with the way there ruling right now, they'd probably declare banning Insider Trading was against his freedom of speech or some other such bollocks.
