How to do Insider Trading without getting caught?

Quote from henry76:

I suspect most get away with it , there have been a couple of scandals in uk , i think jeffrey archer was caught up in something , amongst a long list , his wife was a tv exec involved in a takeover , think he got away with that , but was sent to prison for something or other , personally i think he should be locked up for his books .

Can you guarantee that even if you get away,at some point of time you won't be caught?

Unless of course you are Goldman Sachs or SAC.

Look at Galleon hedge fund,all crooks usually have a fallout one day or the other,no?

Worst case is 20 years of free room and board and all the sex you would ever want!

Keep up your optimism. Just be sure it guides you the right way.

Dear Max , there are no gaurantees in life , everything has some risk , i suspect 99% atleast get away with it , it probably and literally goes on all the time to a lesser or greater degrea , the rewards can be enormouse , if you think crime never pays your not living in this world , it's only the stupid and the unlcuky who get caught , per doller I bet driving a cab is 10 times more dangerouse .
P .S. I'd do it myself , but the managing director of BP isn't answering my calls

Sure sunshine.

Just remember that when elephants fight,grass on the ground always breaks if you get the hint.

So don't be in a shock when you are named while bigger daddies go scot free

Cheers,
Max

Thank you all.
And special thanks to Max Skinner for doing the detective job instead of answering my question.

Severely under-under regulated dark pools.

You are welcome genius.

Hopefully now you will give your employer something in return like actually working for the salary you get instead of making plans to mooch off.

Take care.

Best,
Max

As with everything in life,context is the key.

After Lehman and 2008 debacle,don't you think that vigilance has become more and more authoritarian and always sniffing for any of the "insiders" to catch and improve their own image?

There is a time to kill and a time to heal if you can get my point.

It surely will suck to be stupid or unlucky or both in post 2008 era.

By the way,you need to find someone else other than that useless BP fellow,you will make more money.Was very funny when he was grilled,looked like a junkie on crack trying to gather when did he have his last fix.



Cheers,
Max

Yeh he was pretty lame , but he did stick it out , though he must be worth a fortune , and I'm sure the authorities are sniffing around after insider dealers all the time , but thats becuase it happens all the time , I stick by what i said earlier , I bet they catch 1% of insider deals at most and the reward risk ratio is huge ( thats why people do it ) , and the really smart guys just end up really rich .
