The Woody Report: Shadow Insider Trading, The Panuwat Case

Welcome to The Woody Report, where, Washington & Lee, School of Law Associate Professor Karen Woody and host Tom Fox discuss issues on white collar crime, compliance issues, international corruption, securities and accounting fraud, and internal corporate investigations. From current events to topical issues to academic research and thought leadership, Karen Woody helps lead the discussion of these issues on the new and exciting podcast. In this episode, Tom and Karen explore the upcoming trial of Matthew Panuwat over claims of Shadow Insider Trading.

The shadow insider trading case involving Matthew Panuwat is a groundbreaking trial that could redefine the boundaries of insider trading. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is prosecuting Panuwat for allegedly making around $107,000 by trading in Insight, a company similar to his own, Medivation, based on non-public information about Medivation. This case emphasizes the importance of maintaining confidentiality and integrity in the workplace and could impact insider trading liability by addressing shadow trading and its implications for securities laws.

Tom views this case as a significant and novel one brought by the SEC, highlighting the concept of shadow trading, where companies are economically linked in such a way that trading on one company’s information can be considered insider trading in another. On the other hand, Karen Woody aligns with the SEC’s argument that Panuwat’s actions were not right, emphasizing the importance of following insider trading laws and regulations. Check out this most fascinating case.

Key Highlights:

  • Insightful Shadow Trading in Panuwat Trial
  • Redefining Insider Trading through Shadow Trading Practices
  • Expanding Industry-Wide Prohibition on Insider Trading

The Woody Report: Succession, The Final Season, Episode 1-Munsters

Co-hosts Tom Fox and Karen Woody are back as they delve deep into the first episode of the final season of Succession. From the recurring theme of personal vs business decisions to the amazing performance from Shiv, these two bring you it all! But that’s not all – learn valuable lessons about deal-making and cultural fit, and find out why the attention to detail in the clothing and accessories of the characters is so important. And if you’re looking for a great podcast recommendation, tune in to catch their thoughts on a brand-new show – who knows, you might just find your next binge-worthy obsession! Don’t miss the upcoming second episode of The Woody Report, where Tom and Karen bring you all the latest in pop culture, business, and more.

In the first episode of the final season of Succession, the theme of legacy media versus new media is explored. Karen Woody and Tom Fox discuss the tension between the two in the show, with the children of the wealthy Roy family attempting to launch their own media company “The 100”. However, they end up pivoting back to old media by buying out their competitor, Pearce. Karen Woody sums up this theme well when she says, “you see a lot in the beginning of this episode… between new, fresh, young medias… and then it’s back to legacy media”.

Another theme that is explored in the first episode of Succession’s final season is the idea that “everything personal is business, and everything business is personal”. Karen and Tom discuss this ongoing theme in the show, which is evident in the complex relationships between the members of the Roy family, and the blurred lines between their personal and professional lives.

One notable example of this dynamic is the relationship between Tom and Shiv. In a “spectacular scene” in the episode, their personal issues come to the surface during a business meeting, and they struggle to keep the conversation focused solely on business. This highlights the difficult balancing act that the characters must maintain between their personal lives and their business obligations.

As Karen notes, this theme is present throughout the entire series, and continues to shape the dynamic between the characters in the final season. Tune in to the podcast episode to gain further insights on this complex and intriguing theme, and to stay updated on the latest developments in the world of Succession.
