The SEC is
investigating potential insider trading in the aquisition of two energy companies by
Andarko Petroleum. Andarko, a Fortune 500 oil and gas company is currently in the process of purchasing
Kerr-McGee of Oklahoma and
Western Gas of Colorado. Irregularities in the stock options of these two companies in anticipation of the sale are what have raised the SEC's, figurative, eyebrows.
Oh those pesky stock options.
