Oh no! Unregulated market is bad‽

This is a regulated area, one that the SEC oversees. They've prosecuted insider trading on crypto: https://www.sec.gov/news/press-release/2023-98

So... Reddit employees are being investigated, right?

There's no way we'll know this soon but, given there's been a huge push at the SEC to clamp down on crypto-related financial crimes[1], I wouldn't want to be anywhere near this debacle.

Before I go, I'll just leave this link: Report Suspected Securities Fraud or Wrongdoing.

  1. Dot your i's and cross your t's with crypto and dancing with the SEC. LBRY failed to register as a security when they pre-mined and yesterday it sank their company. Charges are pressed in bursts of new cases almost every month.
