Insider trading/financial markets information

I am interested if anyone has insight into sources of financial information in the darknet? Rumors of this access have been floating around trader circles for the last year or so. Does anyone know where to begin finding these vendors who can provide actionable information for trading financial instruments? Below are a few examples of what I am referring to:

Some of our competitors have had very lucrative years thus far in a choppy market, and I am sure it is a very profitable venture for the vendors. Can anyone point me in a direction?

Best regards.

Damn. You know that's what I first came to the darknet in search of as well.

Then I found out about the drugs and got distracted.

Seems way to simple for a vendor to lie.

I feel like any of this that would be done via TOR would be on obscure onion links that only native speakers of east european languages would have access to.

aka out of 99% posters' leagues here.

There was a guy on the Hell forums that arranged large collaborated stock buys to pump prices, not sure where he migrated to after they shut down.

This would also be a great way to made side money in the markets.

I've not really seen anything of this sort, but then again I haven't gone looking for this specifically. I'd be suspicious of it anyway, I'd be wondering if the information was so good why they wouldn't be executing on it themselves. And anyone sort of savvy can figure out a way to avoid scrutiny. Its not necessarily all that hard. People get caught but I assure you, its as rare as those getting caught ordering off the DNMs. I'm aware of how this works in IRL but I guess I don't see it translating well on the DNMs, at least in the same sense drugs are sold. I could see a limited scenario where this type of info would be traded - in a wikileaks sort of way. This type of "good" is not consumable by the average DNM user, IMO. It'd almost need to have some sort of vetting process, for both buyer and seller.

For instance, if a piece of information is potentially worth a hundred thousand or more, it wouldn't make sense to sell it for $500, 1000, 5000. Plus you don't want it leaking too soon lest the information becomes worthless.

So I guess broadly speaking, its possible, but it'd be a completely different setting than your standard drug DNM.

BUT, at the end of the day, I'm only speculating as I have no experience w/ this sort of thing on the DNMs, as a platform.

That's not really how corporate espionage works.

It's kinda like a myth, like the assassination markets.

Except for broad exploits, like the ability to acess/reset certain email domains.

Why on earth would someone with insider information sell it? They already have all they need to make several million dollars in a couple of minutes. Why would they bother to go around selling it? To make money?
