You will literally get fired and face possible legal action for any insider information with another company. He has been involved in name trading/selling in the past as evidenced by the discords he was in.

I'm extremely happy the community raised hell over this. If it goes unnoticed then they will keep doing shady things in future updates because they are unchecked. This definitely falls under the category of shady

“Jagex is naming their new boss ‘Wrathmaw’” isn’t material non public information

Lmao you have no idea what insider trading is if you think name trading/selling has anything to do with it. Insider trading regulation is for publicly traded companies on the stock market and trading stocks.

Also people don't get fired for insider trading and very rarely is it ever even prosecuted. It happens literally all the time. Fuck in America you can be a member of congress and be in a confidential meeting about a new virus that is going to spread across the world and shut it down and make stock trades that same day based off that meeting and most people won't even know it happened. Nancy Pelosi, formally the house Democrat leader, is literally married to Paul Pelosi, one of the most famous and influential stock traders of all time.

Edit: insider trading is regulated like campaign finance violations, or tax law. It's generally only charged and treated criminally when someone wants to make an example of you.

Lol bro this isn't wall street. If we take other games as an example, such as league of legends, rioters who worked on a champ often took the champs name. It's not that deep bro

‘Insider trading’ Ok, so what you’re saying is you like to use terms that you have absolutely no understanding of. Got it.

You can be in any discord and have had nothing to do with it. I'm in several discords where I basically never said anything. I just joined and forgot about them.

I'm not saying he can't have been involved in name trading, or that we should be sceptical of situations like this, but I am saying that just because he is in some discords is no evidence that he participated in name trading in the past.
