How do inside traders get caught?

You know, guys that buy on a tip from a friend of a friend right before a merger. How do they get caught? Doesn't happen? Brokerage and exchange compliance departments don't analyze trades around significant events?

So a shadowy character manages to open up short positions on 5 of 5 stocks that get suspended a day or two or even a week later. He's not going to get caught?

I mean seriously, do you really think exchanges aren't capable of spotting unusual activity like that? A thinly traded penny that has a newly opened short on it right before a suspension? How many accounts would need to be looked at? 5? 10? These are stocks with no significant shorting activity. Any shorting at all in the month before suspension is a flag..period



#1). You have money. Other people want it. All of it!

#2). You want easy money. So does everybody else. They'll get it, too....yours! (and all of it!)

#3). You tell yourself you're smart. You won't lose your money. Fact: Other people are smarter,
