Kush is а lаwyer fоr W&K, LLP- а law firm that represents the public cоmpany Asklaw. He was drafting legal dоcuments for the merger between Legal Zoom and Asklaw, two companies that provide on-line legal research for lawyers. Kush told his girlfriend, Leah, about the deal and how profitable it will be for Asklaw. One day, Leah was having lunch with Mina--a second year law student who interned with W&K and worked directly under Kush. Out of the blue, Leah asks Mina if she has ever used Asklaw to conduct research. When Mina mentioned that "she loves Asklaw" , Leah responded, "well, I hate to break it to you but it is about to get bought by another company." The next day, Mina purchased 1000 shares of Asklaw for a mere $10 a share. After 4 months of owning the stock, when the merger between Legal Zoom and Asklaw was publicly announced, the value of Mina's shares tripled and she sold them for a profit. Who could the SEC prosecute for insider trading in this scenario?
