>The Securities and Exchange Commission today announced insider trading charges against three software engineers employed at Twilio, Inc., a San Francisco-based cloud computing communications company, and four family members and friends for allegedly generating more than $1 million in collective profits by insider trading ahead of the company’s positive first quarter 2020 earnings announcement on May 6, 2020.

This, along with the 'Tipper/Tippee' language implies that the named engineers did not in fact trade in their own accounts.

i mean it’s not clear it could have been all of them. not really the point i’m making..yes it could have been done exclusively using family that the government clearly knows you’re linked to. maybe more difficult with friends.

ok? what is the point? they tipped off family but sharing in the gains.

sorry i said “their own personal account” and not “their family” which they lazily used to try to hide the trading activity?

You don't have to read an article before commenting. Trying to make up rules and hold other people to them is neither kind nor constructive.

Your interpretation of their post is not charitable.

It's explicitly against the guidelines to accuse someone of not reading the article.
