On 5 July, the Wall Street Journal reported on something akin to insider trading, “insider giving”, where the timing of a donation of a stock to a charity around inside information about the stock.

Use of the ruse is increasing, according to a study by 2 professors at the University of Michigan’s Ross Business School.
