Wouldn't this be attempted insider trading then?

Doesn't that come with jail time at that scale?




Can you elaborate? Nothing about this situation is at all related to insider trading.


You're completely correct. They likely got inside information which triggered their action, but insider trading would probably only apply to stock trades because of this information.

I was just a little confused.
