Ivanka Trump Testifies She Wasn’t ‘Privy to’ Father’s Finances

Days after Donald Trump raged on the stand, his daughter took questions from New York’s lawyers with a polished manner.



Louis Loss (1914-1997) was a legal scholar considered by many to be the intellectual father of modern securities law.[1] He is best known for his treatise Securities Regulation, which is still considered to be the definitive authority on the subject and which has been cited over 50 times by the Supreme Court of the United States.[1][2] The Oxford English Dictionary credits him with having coined the word tippee, to refer to someone who trades stock after getting a tip from a corporate insider.[3]


Another Insider Trading Trial Is Set to Begin Expert network firms were once an obscure pocket of Wall Street, an elite service for aggressive money managers looking for an investment edge.

Today, these businesses find themselves in the middle of the government's multiyear investigation into insider trading. And on Wednesday, they are expected to take center stage in a federal courtroom in Manhattan.

Winifred Jiau, a former consultant at the expert network firm Primary Global Research, is set to go on trial on charges that she helped pass secret corporate information to her hedge fund clients. If convicted, she faces up to 25 years in prison.
