> On several occasions between late March and early May 2020, before Twilio’s public earnings announcement, Sure, Lagudu and Chotu Pulagam used internal chat channels to discuss in Telugu whether Twilio might exceed market expectations in its quarterly report of earnings, due in May 2020. They concluded that Twilio’s stock price would “rise for sure” after the quarterly results were announced publicly.

I assume "internal chat channels" means the company Slack so this wasn't well planned at all. I wonder if they were even aware they were committing a felony at that stage.

probably or they wouldnt have used telugu. maybe assuming it would be harder to get caught

Why wouldn't they have used their native language in a secure channel?

im saying they probably use it in the internal slack channel assuming it would be less likely to be caught than if they used english
