Several members of Congress have been implicated in potential insider trading scandals stemming from stock transactions that occurred at the beginning of COVID-19 crisis before the major stock market decline. As reported by the press, members of Congress were regularly being briefed on the implications of the spreading virus. Some of the members were making public statements discounting the significance of the virus.
Senators Kelly Loeffler (R-GA), Diane Feinstein (D-CA), Jim Inhofe (R-Idaho) and Richard Burr (R-NC) were publicly identified. The investigations against Senators Loeffler, Inhofe and Feinstein appear to be closed, while the criminal investigation of Richard Burr appears to be continuing. A public report cited the FBI’s seizure of Sen. Burr’s mobile phone.
Insider trading law has been the subject of significant challenges. The Supreme Court, in United States v. O’Hagan, brought some certainty to what is called the “misappropriation theory,” which imposes liability if a person trades stock based on material nonpublic information in violation of duty owed to the source of that information. In the O’Hagan case, the Court upheld the conviction of an attorney-defendant where the attorney-defendant engaged in stock transactions based on information he obtained while representing an acquiring company in an unannounced takeover of a target company. Trading on the confidential information is only prohibited when such activity violates a duty owed by the trader to another person or entity.

Yesterday, reporters revealed the Department of Justice had discontinued the investigations into coronavirus-related trading by Senators Kelly Loeffler, James Inhofe, and Dianne Feinstein (whose holdings are in a blind trust). The three Senators each had sold—and in Senator Loeffler’s case, bought—large amounts of stock the same day or soon after a confidential senatorial briefing on January 24 by the CDC’s Director and Dr. Anthony Fauci.

Entertainment is not just entertainment, it is adult education, consumer conditioning and social engineering. It is the principal mechanism employed by nation states to reliably influence social behavior.
The content of entertainment exerts significant, predictable effects on human behavior and belief systems and over the course and direction of future scientific, economic and moral evolution.
Entertainment directs popular attention, lends support to or selectively subverts social issues, fosters unity or division and incrementally enhances or gradually constricts collective cognitive capacity. “Entertainment” determines who we are, and who we will be.
