In their Second Circuit Review, Martin Flumenbaum and Brad S. Karp write: Earlier this month, in 'S.E.C. v. Rajaratnam', the Second Circuit reviewed whether the penalty available in a civil insider trading action pursuant to Section 21A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is limited to a defendant's personal profits. In a unanimous opinion, the court held that such a penalty is not so limited, and can be based on profits gained by other individuals or entities as a result of a defendant's insider trading violations. Against the backdrop of other recent developments, the Second Circuit's discussion of the contours of Section 21A's penalty provision represents an interesting extension of insider trading enforcement authority.
