The case was the first in which the SEC has brought an enforcement action alleging securities violations on the dark web, it said. According to the agencies, from 2016 until at least 2017, Jones conspired with another unnamed person to access various dark web marketplaces, including a website claiming to be an insider trading forum, in search of material, non-public information to use for his own securities trading.
