"Is it typical for first offenses of this to result in a prison term?"

I dunno. Usually when I read about it in the papers it involves prison and massive fines. Considering that insider trading is one of those fundamental infractions that calls in question the whole system, I imagine ony a President's son would get away without even a slap on the wrist. Could be wrong, though.
