How Insider Trading Leaked Through Polymarket and a Google Engineer

In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore the intersection of insider trading, prediction markets, and corporate security, anchored by the May 28, 2026 news that a Google engineer was charged with insider trading after allegedly making $1.2 million on Polymarket using confidential information about a company acquisition. They examine how Polymarket's decentralized, crypto-native structure creates challenges for traditional securities law enforcement, why prediction markets are uniquely susceptible to misuse by corporate insiders, and what this case means for compliance teams at tech companies. Along the way, they reference the recent cybersecurity stock movements, including Zscaler's 27.5% drop, as context for how market-sensitive information travels. The conversation also touches on broader lessons about information security, legal risks for employees, and the need for better internal controls. No ads—just a focused, conversational deep dive into one of the most unusual insider trading cases in recent memory. #InsiderTrading #Polymarket #Google #PredictionMarkets #SecuritiesLaw #SEC #Cybersecurity #Compliance #InformationSecurity #MarketManipulation #TechNews #CorporateGovernance #Blockchain #Zscaler #CRWD #Technology #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
