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.

==Australia==
* [[Simon Hannes]], Australian [[Macquarie Bank]] executive, convicted and jailed over [[option]]s bought [[19 September]] [[1996]] ahead of TNT takeover.

* [[Steve Vizard]], Australian businessman and entertainer, admitted as part of a civil settlement to an associate company making trades in [[2000]] ahead of deals involving [[Telstra]], of which he was a director. On [[July 28]] [[2005]] Vizard was fined AUD$390,000 and received a 10 year ban from acting as a [[Company Ddirector]]. This has caused bitterness to some observers, who contrasted the (allegedly) relatively lenient treatment of Vizard with the significantly harsher criminal sentence for insider trading handed down to Sydney businessman [[Rene Rivkin]].

* [[Rene Rivkin]], Australian stock-market high-flyer, convicted and jailed over buying [[Qantas]] shares [[24 April]] [[2001]] ahead of a deal. Committed suicide in 2005.
