ANOTHER EXAMPLE ON INSIDER TRADING? DO THEY ALL DO IT?
ACCORDING TO OPEN AI:
Kelly Loeffler, before entering the U.S. Senate, was a highly successful businesswoman. She worked at Intercontinental Exchange (ICE), where she climbed the corporate ladder to become the Head of Marketing, Communications, and Investor Relations, and later the CEO of Bakkt, a subsidiary of ICE. Loeffler's wealth is largely derived from her and her husband's significant holdings in ICE, which is the parent company of the New York Stock Exchange. Together, their net worth is estimated to be between $800 million and $1 billion (Wikipedia) (The List).
When Loeffler left her position at ICE to join the Senate, the company awarded her over $9 million in financial assets, although she reportedly left behind significant equity compensation to take the Senate role (Fanfest).
Her wealth has also attracted controversy, especially in 2020 when she and her husband were accused of selling millions of dollars in stocks after receiving early briefings on the COVID-19 pandemic. This raised suspicions of insider trading, although Loeffler denied any wrongdoing and the Department of Justice eventually closed the investigation without charges (Wikipedia) (Fanfest).
Overall, Loeffler's substantial net worth stems from her successful career in finance and strategic investments, alongside her husband's leadership of ICE.

Yes, Dick Cheney did make substantial gains from Halliburton stock during his time as Vice President and the Iraq War. Cheney, who served as CEO of Halliburton before becoming Vice President, retained financial ties to the company while in office. Although he claimed to have severed these ties by placing his stock options in a blind trust, he still had the potential to benefit from Halliburton's success.
During the Iraq War, Halliburton's subsidiary, KBR, was awarded significant contracts worth billions of dollars, often without competitive bidding. Halliburton reportedly made about $39.5 billion from these contracts, which included services like providing housing and meals to U.S. troops (Reader Supported News) (PolitiFact).
Cheney received a substantial retirement package from Halliburton, valued at around $20 million, and also earned deferred compensation and stock options while in office. These financial arrangements created the appearance of a conflict of interest, as Halliburton's profits soared during the Iraq War due to government contracts (PolitiFact) (CorpWatch).

IF SOMEONE IN THE GOVERNMENT HAS ACCESS TO INFORMATION REGARDING LEGISLATION AFFECTING A COMPANY THEN THEY HAVE INSIDER INFORMATION.
IT IS SAFE TO SAY THAT ANY TIME A GOVERNMENT OFFICIAL HAS ACCESS TO INSIDE INFORMATION REGARDING A COMPANY THAT HAS STOCK IN THE STOCK MARKET THEN THEY SHOULD BE BARRED FROM BUYING INTO THAT STOCK UNTIL ALL LEGAL LEGISLATION HAS PASSED.
YES, THEY WILL MISS OUT ON AN OPPORTUNITY TO PROFIT. NO MORE POLITICAL PROFITEERING!
ACCORDING TO OPEN AI:
As Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi would have had a significant role in setting the legislative agenda and guiding the priorities of the House of Representatives. However, this does not mean that she would have had advance knowledge of specific regulatory decisions or approvals, such as those related to Visa's operations or financial transactions in the United States.
Regulatory decisions, including those related to financial transactions and approvals for companies like Visa, are typically made by independent regulatory agencies or bodies, not by individual members of Congress. While Pelosi may have been aware of broader legislative discussions or initiatives related to the financial sector, there is no evidence to suggest that she would have had advance knowledge of specific regulatory approvals or decisions affecting Visa.
