You might be surprised.

I have heard of drug busts that began with detectives going to a university in a town where the drugs (think synthesized drugs) seem to be originating from. Cross-reference all students on financial aid with all students that had taken Organic Chemistry 300. You could count the number on one hand.

Each were watched, one was seen making the handoff....

Sure, that's because America's law enforcement are extremely interested interested in the "war on drugs".

Will they go to those same lengths to find people who profit a few hundred grand or a mil on the stock market, when the consequences of what we're talking about could result in tens or hundreds of millions of dollars of profit/loss?
