Insider trading, Merriam-Webster tell us, is âthe illegal use of information available only to insiders in order to make a profit in financial trading.â
In 2011, conservative think-tanker Peter Schweizer wrote a book about legal but unethical financial trading. It was titled âThrow Them All Out.â It described how members of Congress legally traded stocks after learning of nonpublic information that would influence stock prices. The news show â60 Minutesâ verified Schweizerâs claims, then interviewed him on TV on Sunday, Nov. 13, 2011.
Insider trading had been illegal for corporate executives since enactment of the Securities Exchange Act (SEA) in 1934. But it failed to include Congress and its employees, leaving them free as a bird to line their own pockets. Thereâs a Latin phrase that describes this scenario: âQuis custodiet ipsos custodes?â Loosely translated, it asks, âWho watches the watchers?â
