82. SEC Speech: Insider Trading - U.S. Perspective (T. Newkirk, M. Robertson) insider trading is an extraordinarily difficult crime to prove. In the United States, insider trading is a crime, punishable by monetary penalties and http://www.sec.gov/news/speech/speecharchive/1998/spch221.htm

Home Previous Page Speech by SEC Staff: A U.S. Perspective Remarks by Thomas C. Newkirk Associate Director, Division of Enforcement Melissa A. Robertson Senior Counsel, Division of Enforcement 16th International Symposium on Economic Crime Jesus College, Cambridge, England September 19, 1998 I. Introduction More Americans are investing in the stock market than ever before and Americans now have almost twice as much money invested in the stock market as in commercial banks. We believe this reflects Americans' trust and confidence in the American stock markets and that trust stems from a belief that our government relentlessly pursues its mandate to maintain the fairness and integrity of the stock markets. As Chairman Levitt of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC" or "Commission") recently observed in an address to the legal and investment community: An essential part of our regulation of the securities market is the vigorous enforcement of our laws against insider trading, an enforcement program, the Chairman noted, that "resonate[s] especially profoundly" among American investors. The enforcement program includes both civil and criminal prosecution of insider trading cases. In the fiscal year ended September 30, 1997, the Commission brought 57 insider trading cases.

83. Archive | October 1997 | In Praise Of Insider Trading the crime of insider trading was unheard of on the London Stock Exchange. What, then, is wrong with insider trading? What is wrong with the use http://www.enterstageright.com/archive/articles/1097insider.htm

In praise of insider trading By Matthew O'Keeffe web posted October 1997 A few months ago I had the misfortune to see the latest Oliver Stone offering, 'Wall Street'. In the final scene, Martin Sheen is driving through downtown Manhattan with his son on their way to court, where the latter awaits sentencing for insider trading. The film closes with Sheen's lines: "It's time you started to do something with your life. It's time you started to produce something, rather living off the buying and selling of others." One wonders if this is intended as a criticism of insider dealers in particular or just stockbrokers in general. Obviously Mr Stone put as much thought into the implications of 'Wall Street' as he did into the implications of that other "much acclaimed" file, 'Platoon.' The Productivity of Stockbrokers Stockbrokers (or market-makers, as they are now called) do in fact produce something. The Stock Exchange exists because certain companies are far too big to be owned by individuals. So without the Stock Exchange there would be a far greater concentration of wealth, far more of the Machiavellian billionaires depicted in 'Wall Street.' It is, in fact, the expertise and advice offered by stockbrokers which allows ordinary laymen and non-billionaires to use the Stock Exchange. And it is these stockbrokers who provide the vital service whereby small investors and institutional investors alike can participate in the trading of shares (the fact that among these

New Internationalist July 2003 Corporate crime / MARKET MANIPULATION Ellen Frank believes that insider trading is just business-as-usual in the market that never closes. Click here to send this page to a friend... This made Wall Street a somewhat safer place to do business. But periodic price-rigging and insider-trading scandals led small investors to shun stocks. By the 1970s, only about one American family in ten owned any stock at all. When the stock bubble deflated in 2000, though, it turned out that Wall Street had once again taken the investing public for a ride. As Americans poured money into stocks, insiders shoveled it out, scrambling to sell their own shares before the unprecedented scale of the swindle became evident and crashed the market. Infectious greed CEOs made ambitious earnings forecasts, manipulated accounts to exceed the forecasts then triumphantly announced bested expectations. Share prices shot up and executives exercised their options.

For current information please go to www.paclii.org Journal of South Pacific Law - Working Papers Working Paper 3 of Volume 4 2000 Insider Trading in the Fiji Islands: A Critical Analysis By Daveena Sudhakar, Final year LLB Student, USP Introduction Companies can provide a façade behind which fraudulent activities can flourish. The corporate structure is a potential vehicle for fraud; for example, they are used to solicit funds from the public, reap speculative profits by manipulating the value of their issued securities, or to purchase goods and services when they are insolvent. Companies can be used as a smokescreen behind which the dishonest are easily able to shelter. Equally the company can be a victim of fraud. 1 Criminal law can be used to serve a number of purposes in the sphere of commercial and business fraud. It is most frequently employed as an administrative adjunct in the field of business regulation. Great many offences whose object is to protect investors and creditors are effected by regulating transactions in shares. Most of these offences are relatively minor. There are also, however, a number of offences that are aimed at preventing market rigging and other practices that have the effect of creating false markets in shares, and otherwise undermining the confidence that investors are entitled to have in the integrity of the markets which they trade. 2

The US has the highest rate of incarceration in the world and imprisons 6 to 10 times as many people as any other industrialized country. Between 1990 and 2000 the US population increased 13%. The US prison population more than tripled. There are hundreds of thousands of innocent Americans in prison. They are there because the criminal justice system no longer works to discover the truth of a crime, but to convict at all cost whoever happens to be charged with a crime. And they are there because the US
