One could argue the disclosure timing and executive stock sales (pre-disclosure) could constitute investor/securities fraud, as well.

Unfortunately, there's no law I'm aware of that's going to help you here - although there /possibly/ should be a law governing ownership of someone else's private data, that's not currently the case, as far as I know (IANAL). It's also not immediately obvious to me how you'd construct such a law without causing problems for many other areas of the financial system.


I meant criminal, not civil.
