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.

 Contrary to popular belief, [[Martha Stewart]] was not convicted of alleged insider trading, after selling 3,928 shares of [[ImClone Systems]] on December 27, 2001.  She was convicted of obstruction of justice in the criminal case, and the civil case was settled by a consent decree, in which Stewart agreed to pay a large fine without admitting or denying any wrongdoing.
