This doesn’t make any sense.

Such activities would be criminal regardless of insider trading. What difference could it possibly make if insider trading was legal?

Should we maybe add more laws to forbid such activity in different creative ways, so instead of being doubly illegal it would be triply illegal?

Crazy.

Killing your neighbors with a gun is illegal in both France and US? Here in France, one cannot purchase a gun. Guess what happens when you make gun sale as easy as possible?

Oh but people can own gun, they just should not use them illegally! Right?
