&lt;p&gt;Today yet another major insider trading case came to light, one that centered around three individuals: Matthew Kluger (an M&amp;amp;A lawyer for Wilson, Sonsini, Goodrich &amp;amp; Rosati who previously worked for and allegedly traded on material inside information while also at two other big-swinging law firms: Cravath Swaine &amp;amp; Moore and Skadden Arps), Garrett Bauer (a Wall Street trader who worked for and allegedly traded on material inside information while at Lighthouse Financial Group and RBC Professional Trader Group), and CC-1 (an unnamed co-conspirator* who is also somewhat of a trader, having allegedly placed inside trades him/herself after receiving material info from his/her good pal Kluger).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img class=&quot;embeddedObject&quot; src=&quot;http://content.screencast.com/users/dloos/folders/Jing/media/dad9d649-a3ec-40e6-aa3d-80e5e479e7ab/00000358.png&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; width=&quot;322&quot; height=&quot;250&quot; align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;The three have been accused of illegally earning $32 million over nearly two decades of insider trading on deals like Oracle&#39;s acquisition of Sun Microsystems, Adobe&#39;s purchase of Omniture, and Intel&#39;s buyout of McAfee (Kluger was the one with the 411, Bauer and CC-1 were the ones who made the trades).
