Insider Trading Fraud: Criminal Defense Lawyer for Fraud

Many insider trading cases happen innocently enough. A "tip" here, a "tip" there suddenly leads into a white collar crime.

Make no mistake - being accused of insider trading is serious business. Throughout the years, jail time has steadily increased for those convicted of insider trading, and other penalties (such as those relating to financial restitution) are stiff.

Consequently, if you are accused and convicted of insider trading, you can expect one or more of the following to happen:

Public shame
White collar criminals are fodder for the media. Your name will be highlighted in local, regional, and maybe even national publications. Thus, your spouse, your children, your parents, and anyone else related to you will share in your embarrassment for being charged with insider trading.

Loss of employment
You won't be as lucky as Martha Stewart, who rebounded after serving time for insider trading. Though she landed a television show, she is a rarity. You will most likely be unable to work at your previous income level, as employers will be hesitant to hire a person with a criminal record.

Financial losses
If you have to make any financial restitution by order of the court, you could literally stand to lose millions. If you don't have the money, you and your family may be forced into bankruptcy.

Jail time
White collar criminals convicted of insider trading are going to prison in record numbers. Though many people scoff at the notion, suggesting that white collar jails are "country clubs", they are still prisons and you will not be able to leave, see your friends and family, or enjoy your life.

Social stigma
As mentioned before, when you are convicted of insider trading, that conviction will follow you for the rest of your life. You'll be known as the man or woman who cheated the system and cost people thousands of dollars. This means you'll have a reputation that will be nearly impossible to live down.
