Documents

Martoma v. United States

2nd Circuit Court of Appeals; Case No. 14-3599

Prior Decision

Panel decision 869 F.3d 58 (2nd. Cir. Aug. 23, 2017).

Argument(s)

The panel improperly overruled binding circuit precedent. The panel's ruling is inconsistent with Dirks and Salman, and undercuts the vitality of the "personal benefit" requirement. Constitutional principles counsel against the panel's expansive extension of insider trading law.
