Part of the difference here is that BH is legally obligated to disclose when they buy shares of companies. At least, they are under certain circumstances, which I can’t remember off the top of my head. You can’t punish someone for something they’re legally obligated to do, because one can’t be legally obligated to commit a crime.

True, they are obligated to disclose their positions in a quarterly report.

That doesn’t change the fact that buying and holding options is not illegal...
