Insider Trading Prevention Videos Make Employees Think Twice
   For over a decade, the dramatic Think Twice videos have helped companies
prevent the damage that insider trading and tipping can do to their employees
                              and their business

    BROOKLINE, Mass., Oct. 30 /PRNewswire/ -- Every year insider trading and
tipping ruin people who either did not know they were breaking the law or did
not know they could be caught. Their companies, colleagues, friends, and
families suffer too. Martha Stewart and Sam Waksal are powerful examples.
    Educating employees and executives about insider trading can help
companies prevent the harrowing consequences of an investigation by the SEC
and the Justice Department. For more than a decade, the dramatic Think Twice
videos have been the leading tool for educating employees and executives about
the dangers of insider trading and tipping-and how to avoid them. Developed
and produced by Brumberg Publications (Brookline, MA,
http://www.insidertradingvideos.com) with input from the SEC and prominent
securities lawyers, Think Twice uses dramatic stories and insightful
interviews to educate, entertain, and jolt. Viewers learn and remember:

     -- what constitutes insider trading
     -- why insider trading is wrong and how it harms others
     -- how the SEC discovers illegal activity
     -- the relentless methods the SEC uses to investigate violations
     -- the dangers of lying under oath to federal investigators
     -- the financial penalties for insider trading and tipping
     -- the life-changing consequences of a conviction and jail sentence
     -- what happens if illegal tipping or trading is suspected

    Crucially, the videos cover not only the crimes of intentional insider
trading and tipping but also accidental violations in which people were
unaware that they were breaking the law. The dramas are backed up by straight
talk from former SEC officials about notable cases and the certainty of being
caught.
    In Think Twice: The Original, the drama features a cast of professional
actors and top securities lawyers (including Harvey Pitt, former chairman of
the SEC). The complementary Think Twice: The Sequel, which features only
professional actors and follows a Law and Order-style format, reinforces the
messages and themes of the first video with new emphasis on how insider
trading is detected and investigated and on new internet-related violations.
    In Think Twice II: How The SEC Detects And Pursues Insider Trading, an
interview with William McLucas, the former head of the SEC's Enforcement
Division, gives compelling insight on the methods the SEC uses to investigate
suspicious trading activity and violations of securities law.
    Details of all three insider trading prevention videos, and the companion
40-page presentation guide, are available at

Association (ACCA) and the SEC Enforcement Division provided input for the
video series. Available on the Web site is a free white paper on the legal
basics of insider trading and guidelines for creating a compliance program.
