For "insider trading", investors are no longer unfamiliar. Insider trading uses information advantages to infringe on the interests of investors, undermine the securities and futures market's "three publics" principle, trample on the basis of honesty on which the market depends, and seriously affect the market order and the investment confidence of market participants, and it has always been hated by investors. . However, there are some people with a complicated mentality. Although they are not insiders, they can't resist the temptation of interest. They try to steal, defraud, and probe inside information in an attempt to get rich returns, but they cannot escape legal sanctions.

　　 Take Qi as an example of spying on inside information. The client, Qi, is the legal representative of X Investment Co., Ltd., and hired a retired company secretary Chen to spy on the inside information of S Company, so as to establish a network of inside information to facilitate investment by relying on information advantages. Qi took advantage of the familiar relationship between Chen and Ji, the secretary of the board of directors of S company, to entrust Chen to Ji to inquire about the inside information of the "merger and acquisition" of S company on many occasions. Every time he learned the news, Qi increased his holdings of company S stocks, hoping to make a fortune using the gossip he spied on. However, contrary to expectations, Qi not only failed to make money, but lost 6.9957 million yuan, and was fined 400,000 yuan by the China Securities Regulatory Commission.

　　 Through this case, we should note that in addition to insider information, those who illegally obtain inside information by fraud, arbitrage, eavesdropping, lure, spying, or private transactions may also become the main actors who violate the high-tension lines of insider trading. This is stipulated in Article 2 of the "Interpretation of the Supreme People's Court and the Supreme People's Procuratorate on Several Issues Concerning the Specific Application of Law in Criminal Cases of Handling Insider Trading and Leaking Inside Information". According to Article 76 of the Securities Law, if the company’s securities are sold before the disclosure of insider information, or the information is disclosed, or the information is suggested to others to buy or sell the securities, it violates the red line of insider trading and constitutes Article 76 of the Securities Law. Insider trading as described in Article 202.

　　 Severe punishment for the conduct of spying on inside information and trading is conducive to eliminating the "relying on information trading" in the securities and futures market, rebuilding market confidence, and maintaining the integrity of the capital market for honest investment. I would like to remind investors once again to increase their awareness of self-protection and beware of falling into the trap of insider trading. It is unrealistic to try to get rich overnight with inside information, and legal channels for obtaining securities information should be mastered. To defraud and spy on insider information with a fluke mentality, and get involved in insider trading, will inevitably face severe punishment by law and ultimately pay a huge price.
