> Does anyone honestly care about a million dollar trade by some employee's husband?

It is not just random million dollars trade. Money are not created out of thin air, money are taken from someone. In this case, money was taken from Amazon shareholders. 0.000001 of each shareholder approximately.

Generally, insider trading hurts trust in financial system, and when it happens unpunished, each american citizen is hurt.

There is already no trust in the financial system (it's based on usury after all).

There's a lot of trust in financial system. A lot of people invest in stocks and store their pensions in 401k.
