Illegal insider trading is the buying or selling of a security in breach of a fiduciary duty or other relationship of trust and confidence, with knowledge of material, non-public information about the security.

The Securities Exchange Act of 1934, codified at 15 U.S.C. § 78a, established the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and formed the basis of regulating American financial markets. The SEC, along with securities agencies in each of the 50 states, is charged with enforcing securities laws, including those that prohibit insider trading.

Examples of insider trading cases that have been brought by the SEC are cases against corporate officers, directors, and employees who traded the corporation's securities after learning of significant, confidential corporate developments; friends and family members of corporate officers who traded the securities after receiving such information; and bank or brokerage firm employees who were given such information to provide services to the corporation whose securities they traded.

Proving that someone has been responsible for a trade can be difficult. If you or someone you know is being investigated as part of an insider trading case, consult with an experienced criminal defense attorney as soon as possible.
