You don't understand how this is illegal? Some of you are just clueless outside of pop culture. Insider trading is bad because it gives the said insider an unfair advantage in market. Which can result in other traders losing potential profit and gains on the market. It's really not that hard to understand. People are so blinded by their lust of looks, it throws them off of how terrible the attractive person really is. In this case the guy is just untrustworthy. Throw the book at his ass, if he was middle class he'd be under the federal prison right now!
