Legal sources do not believe Sanders energy trading data leak violates law

摘要

The release of confidential energy market data by Senator Bernie Sanders was likely not against the law, legal experts believe, but industry officials say the leak could nonetheless chill US trading activity. Last month, Sanders, an Independent from Vermont, released confidential market data revealing the positions that firms held in US gas, crude oil, heating oil and gasoline markets from December 30, 2007, to June 30, 2008.
