Insider Trading and Securities Fraud Enforcement Act
In the United States, a 1988 law that significantly increased the penalties associated with insider trading and securities fraud. For example, for insider trading, the Act provided for fines of up to three times the profit an offender made as a result of the inside information. It also provided for cash payments to "whistle-blowers" and civil penalties for managers, who, knowing that persons working under them are likely to engage in insider trading, fail to act.
