Electronic Trading Bots are so prevalent on Wall St it would be quite easy to collude to manipulate prices of shares as some Bots literally make thousands of trades over minute fluctuations in share prices.
I think insider trading should be legal, but its certainly good to hear that those breaking the law will be brought to justice.
