List of insider traders
This '''list of insider traders''' consists of people who have engaged in illegal [[insider trading]].

The numerous other forms of market fraud are not included here.  (In particular, promotions, [[pump and dump]] and similar activity are not considered insider trading.)

The list is chronological by dates of trades (or alleged trades), though often the matters only became public knowledge much later, and the results of trials even later still.
