Most investors spend years studying markets, reading earnings reports, and trying to gain an edge over the competition.
Federal authorities say one former professional soccer player found a much easier path to Wall Street profits.
According to prosecutors, 27-year-old Justin Jennings of New Jersey allegedly built a multimillion-dollar insider trading scheme by secretly accessing confidential corporate information stored on his girlfriend’s work computer. The operation allegedly lasted more than two years and generated approximately $2.7 million before federal investigators caught up with him.
