Insider Trader Slams SEC Case Vs. Toby Scammell

I don't follow business writing enough to know if there's context that would change the way I might read this article about the SEC case against the man accused of profiting from information about the Disney acquisition of Marvel gleaned through his girlfriend. It could be that the writer is a known quantity in a way that would invalidate some of what he says, or that there's an obvious angle being worked, I couldn't tell you. Still, as the original news story presented the case as kind of slam dunk, it's compelling to read someone defending the actions of the accused as a series of educated guesses using avenues for information that shouldn't be privy to regulation or legal rulings. I'm not sure that reading someone else's e-mails doesn't constitute something a bit more severe than recieved pillow talk, but the novelty of the position given what I'd read before stuck with me. Also, I hadn't all the way noticed that the guy's name is "Scammell."
