Thanks, appreciate the link. Thought so. 
 This rhetoric is big here, and even bigger in the seekingalpha comments section. Quite astonishing, frankly.

### REPLY:
Yeah, I hear you.  
  
 Btw the wiki refers to banking and research departments but these rules generally apply to the sales and trading department too. Also you mentioned frontrunning research — that’s also illegal and a few research analysts got disbarred / fined over the last few years for it.
