    Why people pretend that “moral assertion” somehow will cause such insider-trading to cease, … how can anybody be that retarded?

    Either make the laws, & the enforcement, have actual “teeth”, XOR make it legal for everybody.

    The insult of having it be “illegal” for the powerful, but ILLEGAL for everybody else is exactly the category of behavior which creates violent resistance.

    ( 2-facedness in policing, in financial-law, etc, are all examples of 2-facedness, and that’s the principle I’m claiming is the problem, not financial-vs-policing categories of corruption )
