Thank you fishbowl for helping me during the start of my career. It’s now time I have to say goodbye. I have to report to federal prison on Monday for insider trading me and it other staff were convicted of during our early staff years while at PWC. I just wanted to take time to warn anyone thinking of using client data to trade - don’t do it. I got 18 months and in profit on my trade I made $3,000. It’s not worth it. Thank you again so much. Be well.

Literally changed his comment to he got probation, and then someone again said it was fake. Then the OP said "why am I sitting in prison?" OP cannot even decide if he is in prison or on probation.

Too bad you were not in congress. It would then be perfectly legal.

I hate to be that guy but… did you not know that was illegal? I’m pretty sure that’s like day 1 training at b4. I don’t know why all these people are sorry for you.

The market was doing so well that w.e. info you think you got wouldn't have a made a difference probably. You probably don't want to hear this, but once acclimated, see if you can use the time productively. Try to upskill, get some sort of certification or training. This too shall pass! Is not the end, by any means.

How did they find... Not reporting the trade?

Agree. Thankfully my time will be at a minimum security (white collar) prison. I have the chance at early release after 6 months. Still not worth it, plus I lost my CPA license and blacklisted from PwC

I am sorry that you have to go through this. Could they not reduce prison time so you don’t have to serve and just pay the fine?

Were there any other agencies involved besides the SEC?
