Abstract
Rejecting the Second Circuit’s view that, to be liable as a tipper under Rule 10b-5 insider trading law, the tipper must receive a tangible benefit, the Supreme Court held it suffices that the tipper benefited by making a gift of the material nonpublic information to a trading relative or friend.
