With the exception of Congress of course.

Reverse insider trading is also fine, you can announce buybacks right before a preplanned stock sale.

It would be simpler to say if you aren't friends with someone invited to Epstein island you aren't allowed to insider trade but the plebs would get uppity.

Banning Congress from making stock trades has broad bipartisan support[1]. Absent any evidence that the person you're responding to doesn't support a Congressional ban, it's probably safe to assume that they do.
