"Husband's Insider Trading Scheme: Eavesdropping on Wife's Work Calls"

The husband of a former BP manager has pleaded guilty to securities fraud after profiting from insider trading based on information he overheard from his wife's work calls while she was working remotely. He faces possible prison time and a hefty fine, and his wife, who was not aware of the trades, has since filed for divorce. The SEC has also charged him in a separate civil case, and BP put his wife on administrative leave and then fired her despite finding no evidence of her involvement in the trading.
