    BW has been indicted 6 times, never convicted of a crime. He'll beat this one, too.

    Billy Walters can not be as smart as I thought, because anyone with a brain would know that it is very easy to catch simple insider trading nowadays - the regulators are alerted to trading anomalies in the markets by their bots almost instantaneously.

    It doesn't look good for Billy. When someone on the Board of Directors of a public company and is a degen gambler and owes you a lot of money, calls you the day before you place huge trades on seven different occasions and they all go your way, tough to explain those away.

    Billy W is a world-renowned predictor of markets. He's probably the most influential sports bettor in history. His defense in this case will rest on his skill set. He smelled a deal coming up and analyzed Dean Foods as a bargain, a buy....and it paid off. That's how he makes his living. It may be hard to prove that his investment activity here was illegal.

    Hey guys... I don't know anything about stocks etc.

    Can someone just define what "Inside Trading" means?

    "Hefty" Mickleson made a "hefty" profit on inside info, and sits in the same position that Martha Stewart got time for....

    if the gov't wants to, they could put him away with ease.....

    I see. Thank you.

    But how would you track someone down who does this? There must be a lot of people in this world that has valuable information. How come they don't get caught?

    The same way 'unusual betting patterns' are used to spot match fixing in sports.
