华盛顿8月7日电(路透社)——美国证券交易委员会周五表示,将撤回对特伦·佩泽的内幕交易诉讼。佩泽是一名前医疗高管,2024年被联邦陪审团判定内幕交易罪名成立,随后获得唐纳德·特朗普总统赦免。

- 2023年,时年65岁的佩泽——医疗公司Ontrak的创始人兼前首席执行官——被司法部指控内幕交易。
- 美国证券交易委员会也在并行程序中对其提起了民事内幕交易诉讼。
- 当时,监管机构称此次指控具有开创性意义。这是首起涉及使用预先安排的股票出售计划以帮助高管规避此类指控的刑事案件。
- 监管机构称,2021年5月至8月期间,佩泽在掌握有关该公司最大客户的重大非公开负面信息时,出售了价值超过2000万美元的Ontrak股票。
- 2024年,洛杉矶联邦陪审团判定佩泽内幕交易罪名成立。陪审员认定其两项内幕交易罪名和一项证券欺诈罪名成立。
- 2025年,他被判处3年半监禁。
- 今年1月,特朗普对其赦免。
- 佩泽曾是迈克尔·米尔肯的门徒,米尔肯曾被视为华尔街的“垃圾债券之王”。
- 2020年特朗普第一任期内,特朗普曾赦免米尔肯,后者此前已承认证券欺诈罪名并服刑约两年。
- 批评人士和维权人士常将此类赦免视为双重标准的例证,因为特朗普曾以针对部分移民的欺诈指控为由推行强硬的移民打击政策,今年早些时候在明尼苏达州尤为突出。

WASHINGTON, Aug 7 (Reuters) – The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission said on Friday it was moving to dismiss an insider trading lawsuit against Terren Peizer, a former healthcare executive who was convicted of insider trading by a federal jury in 2024 and then pardoned by President Donald Trump.

- In 2023, Peizer, 65, the founder and former chief executive of healthcare company Ontrak, was charged by the Department of Justice with insider trading.
- The SEC also launched civil insider trading charges against him in a parallel action.
- At the time, authorities called the charges groundbreaking. It was the first criminal case involving the use of a pre-arranged stock-selling program designed to help shield executives from such charges.
- Peizer sold more than $20 million of Ontrak stock between May and August 2021 while in possession of material non-public negative information related to the company’s largest customer, authorities said.
- He was convicted of insider trading by a federal jury in Los Angeles in 2024. Jurors found him guilty of two counts of insider trading and one count of securities fraud.
- He was sentenced in 2025 to 3.5 years in prison.
- Trump pardoned him in January this year.
- Peizer was a protege of Michael Milken, once considered Wall Street’s “junk bond king.”
- In 2020 during his first term, Trump had pardoned Milken, who had previously pleaded guilty to securities fraud and served about two years in prison.
- Critics and rights advocates have often pointed to such pardons as examples of double standards as Trump has used fraud claims against some migrants to pursue a hardline immigration crackdown, especially in Minnesota earlier this year.
