NEW YORK (Reuters) - U.S. prosecutors on Wednesday said Christopher Collins, a Republican congressman from upstate New York, has been indicted for insider trading related to a drug trial at an Australian biotechnology company on whose board he served.....
...The indictment said the congressman passed non-public tips about Innate’s trial for a drug to treat progressive multiple sclerosis to his son, who then passed the tips to Zarsky.
Collins, Zarsky and six others to whom they passed the tips traded on the information, and avoided more than $768,000 in losses by selling before results of the trial, which ultimately failed, became public, the indictment said.
