For whatever reason, the International Insider Trading Case Map that we introduced on November 26, 2008 has become wildly popular, with over 20,000 page views to date! I am updating it quarterly now, so with Q1 in the books it is time to take a look at the latest and greatest insider trading cases going on worldwide.
Since the last update on January 24, 2009, several new countries have earned a place on our map, including South Korea, Brazil, Israel and Sweden. Other countries such as the UK and Hong Kong have seen great surges in insider trading enforcement, to the point that the cases in the UK are starting to crowd out all of the map space!
