Are you under investigation by the SEC for insider trading? If so, the consequences could be life-changing. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has historically aggressively pursued suspected insider trading through its subpoena power based upon whistleblower tips, advanced data analytics, and other investigatory tools. By the time you’re contacted by the SEC, they may already have compiled substantial evidence against you.
David R. Chase, Esq., a former SEC enforcement attorney and experienced SEC defense attorney, offers nationwide legal representation to individuals and businesses under SEC scrutiny, including for alleged illegal insider trading. Based in South Florida, Mr. Chase defends clients throughout the country, including in Las Vegas and across Nevada.
Insider trading involves the buying or selling of securities based on material, nonpublic information (MNPI) in breach of a duty of trust or confidence. It is a fraud based violation of the federal securities laws, and extends beyond corporate insiders to include those who receive and trade on the MNPI improperly.
When a company insider (such as an executive, employee, or director) trades on MNPI or tips someone else who does in breach of a fiduciary duty.
When someone who is lawfully entrusted with MNPI, such as an advisor, consultant, or lawyer, improperly trades upon it for personal gain.
Las Vegas may be known for entertainment and hospitality, but it is also home to publicly traded companies in gaming, real estate, hospitality, and finance. Executives, analysts, and consultants in these industries often have access to nonpublic, financial information that could affect stock prices if leaked.
In addition, Las Vegas is increasingly attracting high-net-worth individuals, investors, and business professionals who engage in securities trading. The SEC monitors these activities closely, particularly when trades shortly precede mateiral corporate events such as mergers, acquisitions, and/or earnings announcements.
If you are part of the Las Vegas business or investment community and have received an SEC subpoena or believe you are under investigation, consult a Las Vegas insider trading lawyer immediately.
SEC insider trading investigations are fast-moving, fluid and complex. They may involve parallel criminal proceedings, and the SEC often uses evidence such as timing of trades, phone records, or relationships with corporate insiders to build its case. Defending against these allegations requires experience, insight, and seasoned judgment.
David R. Chase has handled insider trading cases from both sides. As a former SEC prosecutor, he understands how the agency builds and prosecutes these cases and, more importantly, how to successfully defend them.
If you have received a subpoena or Wells Notice from the SEC, or suspect you may be under investigation, do not speak with investigators without legal counsel. Even innocent answers can be misconstrued and used against you.
