Seth Markin was an FBI trainee in 2021 when he traded on nonpublic deal information that he stole from his then-girlfriend while she was working from home as a Big Law associate.

His sentencing on Wednesday for an insider trading scheme highlights the continued security concerns for law firms, especially those with hybrid and remote working arrangements for their lawyers. Markin was sentenced to 15 months in prison, the U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York said.
