Is It Inside or Out? - A Proposal to Clarify the Misappropriation Theory of Unlawful Trading

Authors

Abstract

Insider trading - the very mention of the words conjures up images of evildoers on Wall Street committing deceptive and underhanded acts at the expense of "mom and pop" investors. During the 1980s, the issue came to the forefront with high profile prosecutions and motion pictures depicting powerful corporate raiders proclaiming that "if you're not inside, you're outside."
