Not really.

So it can now be argued that Mr. Elgindy was reporting things to the FBI and SEC, not for the act of reporting it, but for the ability to extract (glean) information out them.

In court, it's difficult to attempt to prove what a defendant "intended" when he took an action. You can propose it, but will the jury believe it?

From what I've read about the present case, I think the prosecution has some problems. Cleveland clearly came across as a greedy creep, and his testimony suggests that he and Royer had much more to do with each other and with the dissemination of information than did Elgindy. It's especially damning that Cleveland apparently made up some of his "information".

Did Royer ever say that the information he passed on to Cleveland was "confidential"? If he did, did Cleveland tell that to Elgindy? If so, would Tony have bragged about it as openly as he did?

It certainly doesn't look to me as if Tony "solicited" any information; the chief "operators" here seem to be Royer and Cleveland.

It's all very interesting, and I'm sure that it'll continue to be.
