Harry, I didn't say that at all. I said that the example you use, isn't an example of insider trading at all. To be considered a violation of insider trading rules a trade must have " deception in connection with the purchase or sale of any security" -- a required element of violations in Section 10(b) It is not illegal for a officer of any company to trade his shares, and whether he reports the sale or not doesn't necessarily make it a deceptive trade. What you were reading were excerpts from the article, the link to which I had posted previously to Tench. You might want to read the full section on GWB in the article before making your call.
