The FBI separately arrested Jon Horvath, an employee of Sigma Capital Management, an affiliate of giant hedge fund SAC Capital Advisors, in NYC. Anthony Chiasson, a former hedge-fund manager at Level Global Investors LP, is expected to surrender in New York, and a fourth person was being sought.
Insider trading is sort of like corruption in China. Everyone does it, but people tend to only be charged for them if they're small fry or have fallen out of favor in some way.
