In 2015, the Securities and Exchange Commission announced consent judgments against Matthew G. Teeple, David T. Riley and John V. Johnson and filed related insider trading charges against Andrew Miller, a friend of Teeple's who traded Foundry Networks securities on information from him. The release gives separate figures for each defendant and no single total.

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 Securities and Exchange Commission announced this matter on June 12, 2015 as litigation release 23284. The respondents named are Matthew G. Teeple, David T. Riley, John V. Johnson and Andrew Miller (4 individuals, 0 entities). The release reports consent judgments approved on June 11, 2015: Teeple to pay disgorgement and interest totalling $166,532 and a $133,000 penalty and to accept an industry bar; Riley to pay $9,072 in disgorgement, interest and penalties and to accept an officer-and-director bar; Johnson, who cooperated, to disgorge $137,238 with $21,984 interest and accept an industry bar. For Miller, charged separately as a tippee of Teeple's, the release records an agreed settlement, subject to court approval, of $40,136 disgorgement, $6,692 interest and a $20,068 penalty.

Because the figures belong to different defendants and Teeple's combined amount is not split between disgorgement and interest, the money fields on this record are left empty rather than summed.
