Regulatory Ambiguity: The Underbelly of Insider Trading
Abstract
Ordinarily “black money” is considered a part of illegal transactions involving cash payments. However, in the case of illegal insider trading, illegal profits are often hidden in the purchase of luxury items and financial investments through offshore accounts. Aiding in this particular white-collar crime is the ambiguity of regulation, often dependent on the political whims of whatever party is in office at the time. Adding to the confusion is the fact that in some cases, “insider traders” are acting legitimately, as in the case of senior executives with stock buying options within their compensation or with lower-level employees participating in employee stock ownership programs (ESOPs). Though there are exhaustive ways by which illegal trading information is passed around, there are certain industries, including finance, that lend themselves to greater risk for employee involvement in illegal insider trading. This chapter includes discussions of mergers and acquisitions frenzies, as well as hedge funds and their contributions to illegal insider trading.
