A Texas man is facing charges after he allegedly used information overheard during his wife’s work calls to make $1.76 million on the stock market.

The Securities and Exchange Commission announced charges against Tyler Loudon on Thursday, alleging he purchased 46,450 shares in a company that was later being sold to BP.

BP announced in February 2023 that it was purchasing TravelCenters of America Inc., a truck stop chain that’s based in Ohio. The SEC alleges that Loudon had overheard several of his wife’s business calls while she was working from home, which tipped him off to the sale ahead of the company’s public announcement last year.

Loudon’s wife was a former merger and acquisitions manager with BP, according to Fortune.

“Loudon overheard several of his wife’s work-related conversations about the merger while she was working remotely,” the SEC said in a news release this week. “Without his wife’s knowledge, Loudon purchased 46,450 shares of TravelCenters stock before the merger was announced on February 16, 2023. As a result of the announcement, TravelCenters stock rose nearly 71 percent.”

Loudon “immediately sold all of his TravelCenters shares” after the stock rose, according to the SEC, profiting $1.76 million off the scheme.

“We allege that Mr. Loudon took advantage of his remote working conditions and his wife’s trust to profit from information he knew was confidential,” Eric Werner, the Regional Director of the SEC’s Fort Worth Regional Office, said in a statement. “The SEC remains committed to prosecuting such malfeasance.”

Loudon reportedly confessed to his wife, according to The Guardian and BBC, telling her he wanted to make enough money so that his wife didn’t need to continue working long hours.

His wife was “stunned by this revelation,” according to BBC. She then reported her husband to her superiors at BP, but was fired soon after coming forward with the information about her husband’s trading, according to The Guardian.

The woman later filed for divorce from her husband, according to the outlets.

The SEC says that Loudon did not deny the allegations. He reportedly agreed to a partial judgment, pending a court’s approval. If approved, Loudon would need to repay his profits with interest, on top of a fine that will be determined by the court.



He ruined his wife’s career and possible future for a quick come up. Then he tells her AFTER THE FACT. Now she’s an accessory to the crime so she has to snitch. :snoop:

I hope he goes bankrupt over this and is forced to pay her spousal support for the rest of his life.

Insanity. You're not beating the SEC on something like this, and it's so easy for them to track shyt like this and flag transactions that look too suspicious.
His wife probably made more money than him too. Now she’s screwed. That’s the fukked up part. He ruined her career potentially.

She was a M&A manager for BP, money wasn't an issue at all.
