Insider-trading investigation during News Corp takeover
The SEC investigated suspicious trading before News Corporation's planned acquisition of Dow Jones. Reference material says the regulator alleged that board member Sir David Li passed information to Michael Leung, who conveyed it to family members that traded before the announcement. The matter related to the takeover and corporate governance surrounding Dow Jones, not an editorial allegation against Newswires.
