I think to be involved in insider trading, as a subject, you must have released the info or received it from an insider. This is one or more places beyond the blast zone. In fact, who would be the ultimate target, Mickelson or the bookie. My bet is on the bookie, no pun, as Mickelson probably would be used as a cooperating witness. Still, it has had a very significant affect on his golf game for sure.
Goes back to an old saying I heard though, play wish snakes, you are going to get bit.
“I think to be involved in insider trading, as a subject, you must have released the info or received it from an insider. “
That makes sense and that is what I thought when I read this article, but you know how US law is so we can not be sure unless you are a legal expert in this area.
