1. Rob is a sixth- year associate at a big New York City law firm and is on his first date with Amber at a trendy restaurant in SoHo. While sitting at dinner, Rob's cell phone rings. It is Omar, a junior associate at Rob's firm, calling Rob to update him on the Jetix deal. The Jetix deal refers to the acquisition by Makusi Corp. of Jetix Co., a publicly traded company. Rob's firm represents Makusi, and Rob is the point person on the deal. Trying to impress Amber ("Amber, look, I'm a big- shot attorney working on a high- powered deal that you'll soon be reading about in the paper"), Rob purposely mentions to Omar that Makusi will be acquiring Jetix at a substantial premium over the then prevailing market price of Jetix's stock knowing that Amber is listening. Amber calls it a night with Rob following dinner (notwithstanding the phone call, she was not particularly impressed). The next morning, Amber calls her broker and has him buy for her account 1,000 shares of Jetix. Amber also tells her roommate Kathy that Jetix is going to be taken over and that Kathy should buy some of its stock. Kathy immediately calls her broker and instructs him to buy 500 shares of Jetix for her account. That afternoon, Rob treats his dad Rupert to lunch for Rupert's 60th birthday. Rob gives his dad a birthday card in which Rob has written, "A special birthday tip for you buy Jetix stock." Rupert reads the card and then calls his broker and has her buy 3,000 shares of Jetix stock for his account. Three days later, Jetix and Makusi issue a joint press release announcing that Makusi will be acquiring 100 percent of Jetix for $30 per share through a merger of Jetix into a newly created wholly owned subsidiary of Makusi. The price of Jetix promptly rises from $20.00 to $29.50. Are any of the above individuals guilty of illegal insider trading?

2. You are a student at the Rogers College of Law. While flying back to school after spring break, you overhear two strangers discussing the acquisition of Raytheon by Boeing at a 40 percent premium over Raytheon's market price. You go home and Google Raytheon and Boeing and find no mention anywhere of the acquisition. You call your broker and have her buy you 1,000 shares of Raytheon. The deal is announced two days later, and Raytheon's stock price jumps $20. You sell your shares for a quick $20,000 profit. Have you violated the federal prohibition against insider trading?
