He listens to his wife's calls while working from home and earns 1.8 million euros: accused of insider trading

A man has been criticized by US regulators for allegedly making $1.8 million buying stock in a company based on information he heard during his wife's remote work meeting. His name is Tyler Loudon and he is now accused of insider trading by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), for having exploited confidential information on the projects of the oil company BP. According to what has been reconstructed by the authorities, the Guardian, the man listened in on several remote calls from his wife, who worked as a mergers and acquisitions manager at BP, without his knowledge. He then began a buying spree, buying more than 46,000 shares and then selling them, making a profit of $1.8 million. The man eventually confessed to his wife what had happened and she was fired, even though she had no proof that she knowingly disclosed information to her husband. The woman then filed for divorce.
