I would be fine with consistency. The SEC should not charge this man, or charge him and every person who is aware of any non-public government contract and trades in the sector the contract pertains to. Within reason, of course. Like, executives of all firms with (prospective or realized) government contracts, any time they buy or sell the stocks of their own firms, or grant themselves equity. Do we have any reason to believe that the law is enforced in this manner in general, or is it more likely that this is not the case, and it was enforced in an unusual manner in this particular instance?
