The criminal case involved four players who are a C.E.O., a hacker, a stock exchange broker, and detective. All the four players are important in determining how the crime is executed and how the criminals can be found easily. The case is on the facts that there is an insider trading scheme that involves the C.E.O. and the stock exchange broker. The scheme is illegal and thus there is a detective involved who is investigation the case.
In this case scenario, the C.E.O. is in charge of a company that trades in the NYSE as a securities broker. The hacker coordinates with the C.E.O. to identify the stocks that are available for trading. The hacker thus gets information from the NYSE via access provided to him by a stock exchange broker within the NYSE. The three individuals are all collaborating to commit a crime which is not allowed by the state. The C.E.O coordinates all the activities that happen while remaining clean while the hacker remains anonymous. The stock exchange broker performs his tasks normally without any suspicious activities (Lippman, 2012).
The detective’s work is to find out how the scheme works and getting the right evidence to provide proof of the case in a court of law beyond reasonable doubt. Insider trading is a criminal case which occurs in many stock markets in the world. However, the detectives in charge of identifying the right criminals end up being influenced through rewards to avoid pursuing the cases in court (Monaghan, 2016). The scenario thus shows the four parties involved in a criminal case in which some are involved directly while other are involved directly. The role of a detective is to identify the main source of the criminal activity which is the C.E.O.
