The SEC filed a complaint against John Afriyie for insider trading related to the acquisition of The ADT Corporation by Apollo Global Management. Afriyie allegedly used nonpublic information to purchase ADT call options in his mother's account, profiting from the stock price increase after the deal's announcement. Criminal charges were also announced by the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York.
