Healthcare Company Ontrak's Boss Charged With Insider Trading

By Douglas Gillison and Kanishka SinghWASHINGTON - U.S. authorities on Wednesday charged the head of the health care company Ontrak Inc with insider trading, marking the first criminal case involving the use of a special trading plan designed to help shield executives from such charges.

Gurbir Grewal, the SEC's director of enforcement, said abuse of 10b5-1 plans"erodes public confidence" and that his agency was ready to bring further cases if necessary. David Willingham, an attorney for Peizer, said his client was innocent and that U.S. authorities had disregarded good-faith discussions held"before these cases were filed without any prior notice."
