UPDATE: A copy of the SEC Inspector General’s Report entitled, “Employee’s Securities Transactions Raise Suspicions of Insider Trading and Create Appearances of Impropriety” is available here. (via CBS News).

CBS News reports in this video on two attorneys at the SEC who are reportedly under "active" criminal investigation by the FBI for trading stocks based on inside information. CBS reports that the accusations against the two lawyers - a man and a woman whose names have not been released - are detailed in a report by the SEC Inspector General obtained exclusively by CBS News.

I requested a copy of the report this morning from the IG's office and was told that because it is an "investigative report," it can only be released under the Freedom of Information Act. I just filed a request under FOIA, and will post an update here as soon as possible.
