Unfortunately, from what I can see from my vantage point as the U.S. Attorney here, illegal insider trading is rampant and may even be on the rise.

We have witnessed the most educated, successful, and monied professionals in the country put their companies - not to mention their own liberty - at risk by engaging in flagrant and foolhardy illegal conduct.

I have come to really love the sound of nervous laughter.

Significant officials at publicly traded companies are casually and cavalierly engaged in insider trading. Because insider trading has as one of its elements communication, it doesn't take rocket science to realize it's nice to have the communication on tape.

Businesses should be assured that law enforcement will operate with the utmost sensitivity toward victims of cyber attacks.

As the United States attorney in Manhattan, I have come to worry about few things as much as the gathering cyber threat.
