Question Presented (OCR Extract)

QUESTIONS PRESENTED 1. Whether information about a proposed government regulation is “property” or a “thing of value” belonging to a federal, state, or local regulator such that its unauthorized disclosure can constitute fraud or conversion under federal criminal law. 2. Whether this Court’s holding in Dirks v. SEC, 463 U.S. 646 (1983), requiring proof of “personal benefit” to establish insider-trading fraud, applies to Title 18 statutes that proscribe fraud in language virtually identical to the Title 15 anti-fraud provisions at issue in Dirks.
