Using information that clients have disclosed when drunk is unethical because clients do not have control of their faculties to control how much or what information they are disclosing. It is unclear whether or not Albert is directly involved in IPOs or whether he simply observes the emergence of new IPOs on the market and alerts his clients. However, if he is directly involved in IPOs and provides his clients with information about them, this is illegal and considered insider trading. Albert could face criminal charges if he was involved in this activity. Criminal cases are filed and prosecuted in federal or state court (Ferrell, Fraedrich, & Ferrell, 2011, p. 96). Albert's supervisor's request to buy stock and “pay taxes and give [Albert] a small bonus for Christmas (Ferrell, Fraedrich, & Ferrell, 2011, p. 122)” is very suspicious. At the very least it would go against fundamental stock market practices. Core practices are “documented best practices often encouraged by legal and regulatory forces, as well as industry trade associations (Ferrell, Fraedrich, & Ferrell, 2011, p. 93).” This could very well be unethical, a conflict of interest, or insider trading, depending on why his supervisor wants him to buy it
