But that doesn’t stop trading experts like Ben Sturgill who is not a stranger to the dark pools from taking advantage of smart money moves just like these.
Before we dive into Ben Sturgill’s ways of the world… Let’s jump into these employees from hell’s shenanigans as Ben would say.
The sin? Insider trading and folks it became a family affair.
This trio was employed at Twilio Inc (NYSE: TWLO) and being software engineers they had access to multiple databases that contained Twillo’s revenue….
Now back in March 2020 when most of us were stressing out over where our next roll of toilet paper would come from…The SEC claims this trio discovered Twillio’s customers were beefing up their usage of the company’s products and services thanks to the pandemic.
