		Is shorting a company and then murdering its CEO considered insider trading in your jurisdiction?

		Prediction markets advertise insider trading as a feature, and enforcement of financial crimes is a racket anyway. If you know the right people, make the right campaign contributions, laws just don't apply to you.

Yes, and sounds like a great way to get RICO conspiracy to commit murder added to your charges just for trading on it.
