I don’t think that it’s ever been brought to court; but I find it hard to imagine a world where lots of ethically disinhibited people have covert access to juicy information and at least some of them aren’t using that fact to their advantage (especially when exactly what information they have is a ‘state secret’, so it would be crazy difficult to prove in court that they were actually in possession of the information required to count as an 'insider; rather than merely having a decent run of luck with a mixed portfolio and an unrelated intelligence job).
