I don't think the stocks liquidations at the beginning of the pandemic is a good example of this. shit was hitting the fan and cities were closing down before most of the "insider trading" happened. If the information they used to make their trades was on the front page of every newspaper, it's not insider trading.

I think the conflict of interest alone should be enough to ban them and their close relatives from trading individual stocks
