ASIC v. Avrohom Kimelman (insider trading, 2021)

Status unknown

Machine-extracted, pending human review. The structured fields on this page were parsed automatically from the regulator's own release, linked below. Read the primary document before relying on any figure here, and tell us if something is wrong.

In 2021, the Australian Securities and Investments Commission brought an action against Avrohom Kimelman, alleging conduct this library classifies as insider trading and price manipulation. The release does not state a monetary figure that we were able to extract. A parallel criminal matter is referenced in the release.

A dash means the release did not state a figure we could extract, not that the figure is zero. Penalty and disgorgement are stored separately so aggregates across the library do not double-count the same dollars.

What is alleged to have happened

the Australian Securities and Investments Commission announced this matter on July 1, 2021 as release 21-157MR. The respondents named are Avrohom Kimelman (1 individual, 0 entities).

This library tags the matter as insider trading and price manipulation, based on the conduct the regulator describes. Each tag links to a page explaining how that technique works, what statute it engages, and what penalties comparable actions have attracted. The tagging is ours, not the regulator's: agencies charge statutory provisions, not technique names.

The release references a parallel criminal proceeding. Where a criminal case exists, the civil and criminal outcomes are recorded separately, because they resolve on different standards of proof.

For the regulator's own account of the facts, read the primary document linked above. This page deliberately summarises the structured record rather than reproducing the release.
