A former Apple attorney who oversaw the company’s compliance with insider trading rules will pay a $1.1 million fine to settle insider trading charges levied by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
Gene Levoff agreed to pay a civil penalty of nearly $1.15 million, which represents triple the amount of profits and losses avoided that he earned by selling Apple stock with insider information, the SEC said Monday in a litigation release.
Levoff pled guilty to securities fraud in U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey in June 2022, the SEC said. He was first charged with insider trading violations in 2019.
