Berthelsen reports, “Defense attorney information for Stone was not immediately available. The Motley Fool did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
“Prosecutors and securities authorities said Stone, a technology professional, gained unauthorized access to Motley Fool’s computer system and viewed the group’s upcoming stock picks before they were announced to paying subscribers. He then traded on them, sometimes using options contracts that paid out only if shares gained within a week.
“Among the dozens of recommended companies whose shares Stone and Robson traded based on the hacks were Amazon.com Inc., Lululemon Athletica Inc., Peloton Interactive Inc., Airbnb Inc. and Coinbase Global Inc., according to the SEC.”
