Drain cryptocurrency accounts and use money to buy shares in companies who's financials you have access to. Sell your data to private bidders. Plenty of ways to make money without ransomware.


Using stock trading is a TERRIBLE idea, that's how you get caught. SEC doesn't play around. I doubt they are doing that, private bidders seems way more likely.


You are vastly overselling SEC, but that's just my opinion.


they could have someone else hold the stock for them


any way you can think of to get around insider trading the SEC knows about. people try this stuff all the time lol


They really don’t and you’re just promoting the same mystical thinking about how the NSA / FBI / CIA is totally wiretapping us all and knows all our details.

Ask yourself the solve rate on most serious crime on the US.

While the SEC has “algorithms” to look for insider trading, it’s most relying on folks with bad OPSEC bragging and getting turned in by bitter third-parties.

Getting around SEC insider trading rules? Easy peasy lemon squeezy:

"58 members of Congress have violated a law designed to stop insider trading and prevent conflicts-of-interest"
